Far North QLD - Cairns

Cairns is the largest city in the Far North QLD area.



It has some nice old buildings and neat roads.




You can find fruit bats hanging around in trees.


When last did you hug your local Koala?


Luckily for the police Cairns is flat but is very hot.


There's no such thing as winter/summer. Its called "The Dry" or "The Wet" up here.
The Wet: Dec - Apr.
Rains around 2m during this time. Avg temp is 37 deg.
And you can't swim in most areas due to the jellyfish.

The Dry: May- Nov
Avg temp is 28 deg.
