kent05 Posted October 13, 2022 #2 Share Posted October 13, 2022 I will be very interested in hearing your days activities as we will be in Cairns on a cruise later next year. The ship will be overnighting there and as we have done Kuranda Village area previously, I am looking for other ideas. Your comments will be welcomed. Hopefully the weather is kind.

kent05 Posted October 13, 2022 #5 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Brilliant suggestions thank you, those ideas sound like a brilliant plan and very much the type of touring we like to do. From your photos, the ship looks to be in close proximity to the City limits. Thanking you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucymorgan Posted October 13, 2022 #6 Share Posted October 13, 2022 The botanic gardens are an easy bus trip from the interchange close to where the ship docks. The people in the terminal can direct you. The bus cost us $6 for all day seniors passes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There not much local seafood anymore. There used to be 2,000 trawlers registered in Cairns and Port Douglas. The trawlers registered there now are just tourist traps selling farmed , or foreign seafood. There’s a trawler usually tied up in Port Douglas selling `seafood strait off the trawler’. Its farmed prawns,farmed fish, mussels from N.Z. and oyster. There’s no oysters in the tropics, they would come from down south somewhere.
