A few days in Cairns 24/2-28/2

[Blackadder]

A combination of leave and rostered days off has seen me with a week away from work, so a last minute decision to take a trip to the Tropics in the Wet season.
Initially my plans were for Darwin, but flight costs and the price at my go to hotel (Darwin Hilton) put the kibosh on that idea. So the next option was to Cairns for 4 nights and a great rate at Cairns Hilton of around $240pn.
Flights to/from Cairns direct with QF (QF 922/923) , day tours booked for the Daintree , and for something different heading to other side of the Atherton Tablelands to Chillagoe Caves. Also booked the Kuranda Scenic Railway trip to Kuranda in Gold Class (last seat available), and the Diamond View for the Skyrail.

I’ve been up this way for the past week
Weather has been pretty good until around 2/3pm when the odd storm roll on in (slowly), if not it’s just overcast, but it’s mostly been isolated cells on the tablelands side of the rainforest.

It’s been a dry ish Feb compared to prior years.

The city is a bit feral now like most regional cities across the country which have now become crime and feral ridden.

The next few days are looking pretty good so looks like you are in for a good week. This morning was sensational, blue skies/no wind, spent hours in the water this AM.
