CAIRNS

We enjoyed a week in Cairns, meeting up with Sam, cycling, spending a day in Karumba, a day travelling to the Daintree and Cape Tribulation and another at the Flecker Botanical Gardens, Cairns.

One of the many street performances on the Esplanade. The pole is being held vertical by the performer's instructions to six members of the audience (all strangers to the performer and each other) whilst he performs balancing and juggling tricks.

Children having fun in the water playground running beside the esplanade.


The beautiful lagoon on The Esplanade, Cairns. We cooled off here after cycling around Cairns.
There are two vehicles in this video. The harvester and the truck catching the cane run alongside each other as they travel along the edge of the sugar cane field.
