cairns & queensland
Hello everyone,
I posted a few questions here about a month ago asking for some info about the northern territory, now i'd need some more help for the first part of my travel! I'll arrive in cairns on the early morning of august 18th and will leave from there to darwin in the evening of august 23rd. First of all I'd like to know what do you suggest to visit/do in such a short time. I was thinking about spending the first day n cairns and the surroundings relaxing and getting all the info i need, one day at the daintree national park, one/two in the atherton tableland and two/one on some island. In particulr about this last thing me and my friends are wondering what might be etter to do, a single day trip or a two day trip sleeping on some boat but we're afraid it might be very expensive! What do you think? have you any suggestion? thanks a lot, matteo |

Jeff ha scritto: Do you wish to hire a car or do day tours? it mainly depends on costs, we might hire a car for a couple of days to reach the places we want to go to... but actually we haven't decided anything specific yet! Let's say that we could hire a car 2 days to go to the daintree national park and visit the surroundings (the rainforest, atherton tableland, etc...) and afterwards stay in cairns and move to beaches by bus and make a couple of trips by boat (or one longer..) What would you do having such a shot time to spend there and not too much money to spend (i mean we don't want to waste money, if there's somthing worthy to be done/visit we can spend money...)? thanks, matteo |

Thursday - Arrive, Explore Cairns, the esplanade, Crystal Cascades well worth a visit. Friday - Hire vehicle drive to Palm Cove, Port Douglas and Mossman Gorge Saturday - Visit Daintree ( suggest you join a 4WD tour for this one) Sunday - Day trip to the Atherton tableland, waterfalls, lakes etc Monday - Day trip to Barrier Reef , if you like Resort Islands Green Isl or Fitzroy Island, if you like wilderness, you will love the Franklands Islands. http://www.franklandislands.com.au/ Tuesday - Visit Kuranda via scenic railway and / or Skyway The above would keep you busy! It may be better to plan a round road trip, staying at different places on your way, with the fist night in Cairns. Depending on how busy it is, i always find by booking direct with the tour operators i save lots of bucks. cheers Jeff |
