Our last day in the Great Barrier Reef area was in Cairns. We found a great rainforest and I’ve attached a few pictures, but we’ve decided the rainforests are so dark that you just can’t photograph them really well. They are beautiful, lush and green and host a variety of plants. This one actually had waterfalls and a stream. There were dangerous stinger plants that you shouldn’t touch or they could cause major problems. I had to get close enough just to push that button.
Cairns also boasts a long esplanade which is located around their wharf area. People walk up and down and there is a huge public swimming pool right along its edge. There are loads of shops and restaurant and we tried our luck at their casino, but didn’t win. We stayed at a bed and breakfast there for one night as it was close to the airport and was our only disappointing accommodations thus far. We felt like we were in our great grandmother’s house. Ugh!
