Free Time In Cairns

So I've been in Cairns for quite a few days now. I planned to have activities every other day, which has been great. But as I was warned by several people, the city itself seems a bit dull, that is of course unless you want to get your drink on.
As I don't drink and as I have seen a lot of the city from the outside, today was about seeing a few things from the inside. I wanted to go to the contemporary arts museum, but it was closed, so I went to Cairns art gallery instead. I sort of did the gallery in reverse, this was good as the three exhibitions on the upper levels didn't really speak to me. The exhibition on the ground floor however was amazing.
It was an interpretation of Oscar Wilde's The Nightingale & The Rose. It was beautiful drawings, paintings, and props for an animated movie. Absolutely stunning.
After the gallery I walked aimlessly around town. Found an alley with some amazing Street art and a café in the end, so I sat down there, wrote my journal and did some reading, and later had lunch
I met up with Emily and we went and found something to eat before we went to the lagoon. For the first time on this journey the heat had got to me, and I really needed to cool down.
We went to Fasta Pasta for dinner and then saw Game Night in the cinema, the movie was a better than average comedy and really enjoyable.Read more
