I also suggest you do the Kuranda trip by senic rail and back by the
cable car, when you get back down, it's right next to the artillery
museum which has the biggest collection in the southern hemisphere and
is worth spending two hours on.
Welcome to Aus, don't forget to check on the local bushfires, and watch out for the creepy crawlies and bitey things we have. Oh and watch out for the Kangaroos on main st. ;)

I live in Cairns, the only negative at the moment is the heat and
humidity other than that you will enjoy the trip, especially to the
reef.

been planning this trip for two years. We are excited...... and yes, it
is all hoping to see the Joey's .... they are so damn cute!
Live in Florida, Summer here is extremely hot and humid .. no issues on that.
I also recommend the train and cable car trips. Haven't seen the
artillery museum myself. Sounds like something to do when I'm up next.

I'd be more concerned about the jellyfish in the ocean and the crocs.

I think they fit in the bitey things definition :) Even if jelly's do sting. Go the bluebottle!

The artillery museum has now doubled in size this year as there wasn't enough space for all the exhibits, my friend from Scotland who was with
me said he was amazed that Cairns had such a museum. The amazing thing
is that it is actually owned by one person who started a personal collection which has now developed into a tourist attaction.

That sounds really good. I'll make a mental note to visit while I'm up there.

The blubottle is a minor annoyance compared to the box jellyfish and those other tiny ones that also pack a lethal punch.
I thought is was "quite the wallop"

There's a man in Portola Valley, a sleepy little town full of
millionaires who created Silicon Valley in the 70s. One of them had a private collection of TANKS. 200 of them. They've all moved out of the area, 120 of them sold off to pay for a museum for the others in Massachusetts.
