Our time in Cairns has drawn to a close, with only one day remaining. This week has been filled with some old favourites (as well as new!); the weather has been glorious.
On Monday evening, with the Cairns Festival organising a “music” concert only a couple of hundred metres from the caravan park, we decided it would be a good time to head into the CBD to inspect the illuminations on the Cairns Public Library and the Neon Dogs along the Esplanade. The Library lights were the prettiest we have seen in the years it has been happening, and the dogs were interesting. A visit to the Night Market – always fascinating – and an ice cream completed the evening. By the time we returned to the caravan, the concert had finished.
Wednesday saw us return to Crystal Cascades for a walk and we were fortunate enough to spot a rather large turtle soaking up the sun and lots and lots of Ulysses butterflies. On Thursday we revisited Dundees for lunch (rather like this restaurant!) and a stroll along the Esplanade. Today it was time for a ride on the newly erected Reef Eye. Although Green Island is supposedly visible, it was hiding below the horizon today. With king tides this week, it also means king mud at low tides! However, the views were well worth the ride (about 8-10 revolutions).
