Part 4 Around Cairns

Leave a comment

After returning to Cairns we had a day of leisure where I headed to the Cairns Aquarium then on the walk back to the hotel had a lovely yoghurt ice cream. That evening we had a cruise and dinner on the harbour.

The next day we headed south of Cairns to Babinda, then to Paronella Park past some banana plantations. We returned via Innisfail which has many art deco buildings.

On the last post we had reached Weipa on the western side of Cape York Peninsula. This post will continue our journey to the tip of Cape York, across to Thursday Island then flying back to Cairns from Horn Island.

Part 2 to Cape York

In the last post, we had just reached Cooktown in Queensland. It is here where Captain James Cook beached his ship Endeavour in 1770 after it had hit an unknown reef a few days earlier.

In this post we are heading to Weipa on the western side of Cape York Peninsula. It is here where they mine bauxite which is used to make into alumina then smelted into aluminium.

Another recent trip to Cape York or the Tip

About 8 years ago I went on a 4WD trip to Cape York. But for some reason I hadn’t downloaded the images when my ipad conked out. Hence I had lost all those photos. So When Garry and Sharon offered the same trip this year, I decided to do it again. As I took lots of photos, I will probably write a few posts.

This first one is from Cairns in Queensland mainly following the coast road north to Cooktown. By hovering over the photo you will see the name of the photo giving clues as to where we are.
