Cairns - Great Barrier Reef - Day 62

AUSTRALIA
Queensland's seaside resort town, Cairns is the gateway to a rich array of natural beauty onshore and off.
Catamarans and other ships take marine lovers to the Great Barrier Reef; stretching for 1,400 miles, it is the largest continuous coral reef system on Earth. Inland, the wet tropics have given rise to Daintree and Kuranda National Parks, vast rainforest systems of extraordinary biodiversity and a profusion of birdlife. For all its appeal to outdoor enthusiasts, Cairns's thriving culture is a pleasure to absorb from outdoor cafés or along the scenic waterfront promenade. The city's rich history lives on in its many heritage-listed buildings and memorials, many of them lining popular Abbott Street.
We took a 3 decker Cat. For 1 1/2 hours to the barrier reef today and snorkeled in the beautiful, one of a kind, waters around this amazing continent in our stinger suites.Læs mere
