Great Barrier Reef

A day in Kuranda!

Kuranda is a little village just 30 min north of Cairns. In Kuranda there was some really good markets where you could buy local produced products. A little drive away was the Barron falls!

Port Douglas and Mossman Gorge

1 hour north of Cairns you find a small nice town called Port Douglas. Celebraties often spend their holidays here because of its nice location and exclusive hotels and resorts. The town is known to be a good place if you want to have a scuba dive or if you want to go snorkeling on the Great Barrier reef!

There are several nice beaches along the way from Cairns to Port Douglas, and Anders and me stopped at one of them.

On our way back to Cairns, we drove to Daintree National park to see the Mossman Gorge!

On our way from Cairns to Port Douglas we stopped on this beautiful beach

There's often lookout stops along the way for tourists who wants to take photos of the view.. like us! :)

It was such a nice drive from Cairns to Port Douglas!

The beach in Port Douglas. If you look closely, you can see that there's just a small area in the ocean that people are recommended to swim in, which i inside the nets put out. Like in Cairns, this is due to stingers (jelly fish) that can cause allergic reaction , which might lead to death

Welcome to the jungle!!

Some trees are just AMAZING!

We always look for a place to cool down! We had a swim in this river, which was super nice and cooool! aah ;)

It got dark before we got back to Cairns again

Wallaman falls, Mission beach and Cairns

Hitting a kangaroo or Wallaby while driving here in Aussie is quite normal. We have seen lots of dead ones along the road, and we even hit one ourselves... uæææ !!! :O

We drove to Girringun National park to see the Wallaman falls

On our way to Mission beach, we had to watch out for these guys!

Anders's favorite photos are "the jumping photos", so of course we had to do a couple of shoots ;)

We reached Cairns on monday the 7th

Because of the risk of stingers (jelly fish) and crocodiles on the coast of Cairns, people are recommended to stay out of the ocean and instead use the lagune which is free for everyone
