I took the Chillagoe Cave Tour in Cairns! While tours of the Great Barrier Reef and other attractions are popular in Cairns, this is a highly recommended tour that lets you experience Australia's natural beauty. 🚌 🚌Morning Tea @Skybury Cafe 🚌Balancing Rock 🚌Chillagoe Cave 🚌Lunch @ Pub 🚌National Park This small-group tour allowed me to get up close and personal with the guide, making for a truly rewarding experience. #Cairns #CairnsTourism #CairnsTrip

#summervacay Top Attractions on Granite Island 1. Kaiki Walking Trail A 2.9 km loop walk around the island with stunning views of the Southern Ocean, Victor Harbor, and nearby Bluff Headland. Features sculpture installations and interpretive signs about island history and geology. 2. Little Penguin Colony Home to a small colony of little penguins, the world’s smallest penguin species. Best viewed during guided evening tours (highly recommended, as they return to shore after sunset). Penguin numbers have declined in recent years, so the colony is carefully monitored. 3. Horse-Drawn Tram. Ride the historic horse tram (pulled by Clydesdale horses) across the causeway from Victor Harbor to the island — a truly unique experience in Australia. #beachlife #naturalwonders #granite #australia

#0yentrip Granite Gorge Nature Park is about an hour's drive from Cairns. When you arrive at the park, the first thing that catches your eye is the landscape of rugged rocks. The biggest attraction is being able to meet wild rock wallabies while walking through the large grounds. You can feed them, so you can see and touch them up close. The wallabies are very friendly and really cute! I was able to take a leisurely walk while enjoying nature. In addition to rock wallabies, you can also observe various animals and wild birds, and it was a place where you could relax in nature. The entrance fee is reasonable, and you can also purchase food for the wallabies inside the park. Spending time surrounded by nature was truly healing.
