Today’s destination: Cairns, Australia
It’s a city in Queensland, on the tropic north east coast.
The population is about 150,000 plus lots of tourism is happening here.
Some of the world’s most beautiful diving spots are here, on the Great Barrier Reef.
It’s known for agriculture, the port, and now a destination for worldwide travel.
The best time to visit is spring or fall, as the tropical rainforest and climate is lovely nearly anytime.
The people here are genuine and really easy to relate to. They are kind and personal and warm. You can meet them where they are and get to know them with a few nice greetings and respect for their surroundings. When I visited, I met several of the locals and they were all helpful and accommodating.
I flew to Cairns from Brisbane, and stayed for about a week before flying to Alice Springs. The Great Barrier Reef was my destination and I enjoyed the boat trips Snorkeling with the turtles and seeing the many Islands.nI’d like to name all of the nearby islands, but there too many to name. Some islands are not for humans because they are protected. Here are three main ones, where you can spend the night if you want.

- Fitzroy Island
- Green Island
- Lizard Island
