I spent a day in Cairns, Queensland,Australia while waiting for my connecting flight to Brisbane. It was a beautiful day spent in the Cairns Esplanade. It is very near the airport and there is a shuttle from the Airport to the Esplanade for a fee. You may also schedule for them to pick you up again at a certain time to take you back to the airport. There are so many backpackers hostel along the Esplanade that are very low prices if you want to refresh from a long trip.
The artworks around the city are about the Ocean World. There are also tent pop up stores around the Esplanade where you can buy novelty items, clothing,gifts and food…Next time that I will be in Cairns, I shouldn’t miss making a trip to the Great Barrier Reef…
@Harsha_Reddy thank you and you’re welcome. It is nice for us to travel virtually and fill our bucketlsit with to go places after these health challenges are over.
@Ewaade_3A lol… thank you…If you ever visit Cairns… make your way through Brisbane City… the flight is so cheap from Cairns to Brisbane… and enjoy the man-made beach in Southbank,Brisbane… you will surely love it.
We visited regularly from Port Moresby. There is a very nice hike through the Mount Whitfield Conservation Park with lookout views out over the Coral Sea.
Glad you got to spend a day in Cairns and enjoy our beautiful little city. The green building in your post is one of three new hotels in Cairns by Crystalbrook - it’s called Bailey. Next time you are in Cairns, let me know and I can show you around! Take care.
@JustineE Thank you so much for the info… wow… that’d be great, woud be lovely to meet a fellow local Guide there… though I havenn’t seen much of Cairns … I think it is a fantastic place. For sure, I will be back when the restrictions are lifted. Cheers!!!
