Cairns

We spent about 10 days here relaxing and exploring the area. It was nice to actually get away from the 40° temperatures to the more pleasant climate of Cairns. The area is beautiful, surrounded by mountainous rain forest. We stayed at the Big4 caravan park which is potentially the best set up park in Australia with its numerous kids activities including movies, play grounds, pools and who could forget the water playground!

We went up to Kuranda on the train and headed back down on the SkyRail (cable car)

Cruising around the caravan park!

Taking time out from playing mini golf.

The train up to Kuranda.

It shouldn't be legal to enjoy train rides this much !!!

Coming back down the mountain on the SkyRail.

I hired a motorcycle to ride through some of the crazy twisty roads up here.

We visited a couple of coffee plantations ... posing with a giant coffee bean!
