Hi, wonderful video of Cairns here in tropical North Queensland. Last went to Cairns in April, 2001 during school holidays whilst in high school where visited PNG families living in Cairns in Redlynch.

I watch this cause I've been to these places and I miss Cairns so much. I'm finishing a qualification in Melbourne but once it's done and I can work and save I'm taking myself to Cairns ❤

[EdSheeransGf]

I love the crystal cascades it’s really cold which is good because it is so hot here even in winter!

[lonniesfilmmaking]

[Explorcation]

There really is so much to do around here 😍 All of the options for outdoor activities are impressive. Some of the spots I would want to see are the Fairy Falls, train through the rainforest and the Devil's pools 😁

[RichieAndVanessaTravel]

Cairns seems like the place to be in Australia! There is so much for everyone to do! For us, I think Fairy Falls and the zip line park would be must dos. Although Goliath would scare me quite a bit 😮😊

This is perfect. Felt like i was watching a program on the telle. I really have to figure out what to do on my short 3 night trip to Cairns soon. I want to see things I can't see anywhere else but I'm ballin on a budget.

May I ask what reef experience you recommend if I am unsure I'll be confident or energetic enough to snorkel. I don't deal with heat and humidity well so I'm a bit stuck on recognising my abilities and wanting to enjoy my adventures. I already feel like I'd be bored and trapped on the train & sky rail but the point is to take in your surroundings. I'm scared the crocodiles with kill me & mozzys eat me alive and ruin my life. Will have to travel with antihistamines & steroid cream so the tropical mozzys don't ruin my holiday.

if I hire a car it wouldn't be a 4wd. Does that make having a car pointless to get around in if going to Daintree and the likes or do you main tourist spots have easy access. I saw some dirt roads.

Thanks again for this and I should go watch the other videos now

The “ restaurants that you were showing to be in Palm Cove” are actually in Trinity beach

If you like Asian/ Korean food, check out Corea, Corea in the upstairs food court .

The dome is closed now. It's gone

It seems so touristy now. No thanks. I was there 20 years ago. Much nicer back then. I hate tours. All these awful tour groups destroy the ambience of any rainforest hike or waterfall swim.
