A sunny week in Cairns Part 1

Off to Cairns....

At the end of August, we headed up to Cairns for a conference for a week or so... We flew up a couple of days before the conference and flew back a couple of days after it so we got a bit of time up there to explore the area.

On the first day, we spent the afternoon wandering around the town. It had changed quite a lot in the 10 years since I had last been there... Instead of just mud flats they had built a lagoon on the Esplanade which is a definate plus!!!! VVV nice but it was way to warm for us to sit out in the sun there!!!!!



We had a wander down the Esplanade, saw where I stayed as a backpacker (bit different to the Hilton where we were staying this time :-) ) and had a look at the pelicans which were on the mudflats.


The Cairns festival was on so that night we sat in a bar in the Pier complex and watched some awesome fireworks.
