From one of my trips to Cairns in tropical Queensland.

Located along the Cairns Esplanade in the CBD, this a 4800 square metre saltwater swimming lagoon which has year round safe swimming, free of crocodiles and stingers. 😂 There are also free BBQs, and free Aqua Aerobics and Yoga. Lifeguards are also on duty and there is wheelchair access.

From one of my trips to tropical Queensland.

Palm Cove is located in Far North Tropical Queensland, and is about 30 mins drive north of Cairns. It's really beautiful and very laid back, with palm trees on the beach.

You have the best of both worlds here, being close to both the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Forest. The Daintree Forest is 135 million years old, making it the oldest rainforest in the world.

It is over 1,200 sq kms and is home to many animal and plant species not found anywhere else in the world.

Cassowary spotted at the waters edge of the Barron River in Kuranda, a mountain village near Cairns, Queensland. He was majestic, although a bit too close for my liking. #cassowary #birds #birdsOfMastadon #aussiebirds #cairns #queensland #tropicalQld #tropicalqueensland
