A view from the tree tops.
Review of Kuranda, Cairns, Australia by
TheWizardsSleeve
Advantages: plenty to see and do, great history, interesting flora & fauna
Disadvantages: remote
No trip to Cairns is complete without a trip to Kuranda. Situated 25 kms from Cairns it is perhaps a trip best taken via an official tour which also takes in the journey to and from Kuranda. The journey to and from is undoubtedly part of the destination. ...

Review of Cairns (Australia) by
TheWizardsSleeve
Advantages: gateway to areas of stunning, natural beauty
Disadvantages: lack of history, no real beaches
Cairns is a strange place in that you do not really go to Cairns to experience Cairns. It is more of a focal point for exploring other areas around it. That is to say that Cairns has not got lots of attractions in it's own right because it has but the vas ...

The best place to stay in Cairns
Review of Gilligans Backpackers Hotel, Cairns by
clover123
Advantages: Extremely clean, fantastic facilities and brilliant location
Disadvantages: Check in not until 2pm.
I stayed at Gilligan's for two weeks and had a fantastic stay. It is an amazing venue with clean rooms, a large tv area, pool, bar and a treatment room. I would say it is quite extravagant compared to all of the other hostels I stayed in during my trip u ...

Rainforest SkyRail.
Review of Rainforest Skyrail to Kuranda, Cairns by
ciaowales
Advantages: Amazing Views
Disadvantages: Queues at busy times, need a head for heights
It takes about 30-40 minutes to go up the Sky Rail to Karanda and there is also a scenic railway. Depending on which option you go for you can go to/from using either or a combination and costs vary. I would recommend booking a daytrip as coaches collect ...
