We are back in Brisbane!! Cairns was really great. The best part was the Great Barrier Reef where we went scuba diving and snorkelling. Ames and I went for the Introductory Diving course and the next thing you knew, we were down 12m and checking out the corals and fishes...we even saw a small shark. We went out to sea via the Osprey V which was filled with bikini babes and sufer dudes from all over the world.



We also went to Kuranda via the Railtrain and came back on the Skyrail which is actually a cable car. The view was magnificant...

Weatherwise it wasn't too great. Rain most days with some sunshine in between. Rented a car on the fourth day and drove to Port Douglas, Mossman Gorge and Daintree Village. Nothing to rave about but a good day out with the family.

There's a Casino here in Cairns called Reef Casino. My favourite game was the $5 Reef Routine which is similar to 5 card poker only you don't get a chance to change your cards. Good fun though no money was won.

All in all, the best part of Cairns was by far the GREAT BARRIER REEF. It was certainly an eye opener.
