We had a week near Cairns at the end of August I forgot to share. All I mentioned so far was our ascent of Mt Bartle Frere and the crocodile we encountered in Lake Placid. We also walked up to some waterfalls in the Barren Gorge. There are heaps of tracks. You can even hike up to Kuranda and catch the Skyrail back – which would be a good trip.
Here is the croc basking on the bank of Lake Placid
Barron River
Cairns: Crystal Cascades. A short walk to remove the flying kinks. A pretty nice looking swimming hole; will pack swimsuit next time, as weather here is a pretty warm 2
