This was a really enjoyable area to explore by car at a leisurely pace. We did not get as far as we hoped, but thoroghly enjoyed Crater Lakes National Park (including the tea house on Lake Barrine), Yungaburra's walk along Peterson Train in search of a platypus sighting, Emerald Creek Ice Cream and the Cathedral Fig Tree.

A great sandy island - inhabited by thousands of bird... A good spot to go snorkeling - even though the water is very shallow. One can still see a few fish, some corals, turtles - but it is not the reef of 30 years ago...

Great place to have a walk. Beautiful scenery and very serene. Close to Cairns and Northern Beaches and we’ll worth a visit.

The Green Arrow is the longest of the Cairns Arrow walks and it's a cracker. Different terrain, mostly in the shade of the forest, it's a great trail within site of Cairns CBD

Wow. Very very cool. 100s of flying foxes and fruit bats. They sleep by day in the trees. But as the sun sets they wake up and make a lot of noise and maybe argue!! "No. It is my turn to lead" No. We went your way last time!" And they wake up and fly about a bit until they are ready. And then they get up and fly off in a huge crowd. Very very cool. Worth getting out and waiting to see them get organized!!
