Here’s a few suggestions on how you can see Cairns “on a shoestring”.
Board the Cairns Explorer bus at Cairns Central Shopping Centre near the
railway station, travel to the city centre, then along the Esplanade.
Then you hop on the next bus and may decide to take the walk through Centennial Lakes or stay on the bus and visit the Royal Flying Doctor Service Visitor Centre at Edge Hill. You may spend an hour there learning about the daily activities of this Australian outback medical service and check out the interesting museum. Hop on the next bus and hop off again at the Botanic Gardens where you can stroll through tropical rainforest and see the exotic Orchid House and the Fernery. Board the next Cairns Explorer bus and head out to the Mangrove Boardwalk near the airport. There are two easy boardwalks there that you can complete in under one hour. Plenty of mangroves to see - 11 species with their alien-like root system - and you might even see an ibis or a honeyeater. Its back on the bus again into the city for the opportunity to visit the Wildlife Dome above the Casino. Immerse yourself in a replicated rainforest environment while birds fly around you. Wallabies roam free, but you can't touch the crocodile! The next bus will take you to back to Cairns Central, the largest shopping centre in North Queensland, where you can browse the shops. Just remember - every time you hop off the bus you can catch the next one in an hour's time. But don't forget that the last bus leaves Cairns Central at 3pm.
There are plenty of places where you can have morning and afternoon tea and lunch. |
