Cairns

In this post, I will talk about Cairns. Cairns is located in Queensland which is the nearest city from Japan. If you want to go to Cairns, it takes about seven hours from Japan. In addition, there are a lot of Japanese signs in the Cairns airport. From Cairns, you can go to Ayers Rock, Sydney, Melbourne, and so on. There are many famous beaches, such as the Great Barrier Reef, Green Island, Fitzroy Island, Palm Cove, and Machans Beach.

First of all, I’m going to introduce the Great Barrier Reef. It is the biggest coral reef block in the world and it is a world heritage site. We can enjoy marine sports, such as scuba diving, jet sking, snorkeling, sailing boat, and skydiving.




 
 
 
 
Secondly, I’m going to tell you about Green Island. This island is the most famous island in Cairns. We can go around it in about 40 minutes because this island is small. We can go to Green Island in about one hour by ship, so there are a lot of one-day tours from Cairns.

Thirdly, I'll talk about Cairns Esplanade Lagoon. This lagoon is an artificial pool, not a real beach. However, there is a sandy beach, so we can enjoy swimming for free. Although we can’t hold a koala in Sydney, we can hold a koala in Cairns and take a picture. If you want to see Australian animals, I recommend going to Cairns Tropical Zoo. Also there is another world heritage site in Cairns. If you go to Cairns, you should go to Kuranda. Kuranda is a famous tropical rain forest. Kuranda means rain forest village in Aboriginal language.
 
I think Cairns has nice weather and temperature. Also it is easy to set to from Japan, so I recommend going to Cairns and enjoying a lot of marine sports.
