Introduction to today's journey
Today's journey flies further northward to Cairns where we explore the city centre and marina.
Today's Journey
 |
Flying northward from Brisbane, I reach Cairns Airport about 1700 kilometres up the coast. |
 |
The city centre in Cairns. It is the middle of winter but the weather is very mild being in the dry season. |
 |
A huge fig tree in the middle of Cairns City. |
 |
Looking northwards across the mudflats from near the marina. These mudflats are the city beach running between the marina and the airport. |
 |
Looking at the huge yachts moored at the marina. |
 |
View through the masts to the city from the marina. |
 |
Watching the tide creep in over the mudflats towards the city. |
 |
Exploring more of the marina as the sun sets low over the mountains. |
 |
Looking across the river to the forested mountains. |
 |
The sun sets behind the city to start a very mild night. |
