In August 1998 Peter and I did fly to Cairns. 60 km north of Cairns is tropical Port Douglas, where we stayed at a Radison Reef Resort. Our travel agent had booked everything for us. Quite a few coach tours were included during our wonderful five day stay in North Queensland.

Views of Cairns and the lush coast from the famous Kuranda Scenic Railway

One of our tours led us to this beautiful Scenic Railway.

This is an aerial view of Cape Tribulation where two World Heritage areas meet, The Grat Barrier Reef and the rainforest.

One of our bus tours took us as far north as Cape Tribulation.
