Week 29 Behind the Scenes Cairns Day 5 (QLD) – Babinda Boulders




Babinda boulders has got my vote for the most magnificent place in the world. I can't go past clear, fresh, warm, crocodile free, swimmable water. I loved it so much I went back a few days later without my video camera to enjoy it for all its awesomeness. It's one of those destinations you just can't capture to show how stunning it is. I'll definitely be going back the first chance I get

Week 28 Behind the Scenes Cairns Day 4 (QLD) – Fitzroy Island









Starts with a sunrise & coffee before we board the boat to Fitzroy Island. Fitzroy is great for a day trip or an extended stay with numerous activities. We took a walk to the beautiful Nudey beach, well worth the stroll with great views, forrest & a great place for a swim. You can relax at the restaurant or go
  • snorkelling
  • glass-bottom boat
  • Aqua jets
  • kayaking
  • sailing
  • swimming
  • water trampoline
  • walks
All up a fantastic day in the sun and well worth the shot, relatively inexpensive boat trip.
Well suited for backpackers, family or any traveller.

Cairns behind the scenes Day 2

Ocean Magic trip to the outer Great Barrier Reef





On the second day we traveled out to the reef with Ocean Magic.
The large vessel takes about 90minutes to travel out to the fixed pontoon.
Once out there you have the option to Scuba dive, snorkel, submarine, underwater viewing area.
Glass bottom boat or even splurge and have a flight in a helicopter for a truly unique view of the reef.
The food & staff are both great which makes for an unforgettable experience.
