twenties are for travelling

Cairns lagoon

We landed in Cairns from Tokyo. When I’d booked my round the world ticket my itinerary was from Tokyo to Sydney, but with a stopover in Cairns. I asked the travel agent if I could just get off in Cairns – who would turn down a trip to Far North Queensland!?

So we spent about 10 days up there and it was AWESOME. I was worried after travelling in two continents we’d just want to be home in Adelaide (if it still felt like home…). But I’m so glad we stopped up there. Cairns is definitely only a base for things beyond though. One night was enough.
