Travels to the Edge

Cairns in tropical northern Queensland is idyllic - a welcome opportunity to visit friends, Rob and Paula, and escape the cooler winter months in southern Australia.  I took an early morning tram and the airport bus to Melbourne Airport. I arrived around noon in time to enjoy the closing day of the Cairns Festival. Street markets, music and dance nearby the Botanical Gardens  I enjoyed the change of scenery and climate! Rob and Paula’s apartment is close by the marina .
