Cairns is known as the Gateway to the North. Definitely worth a visit!

Port Douglas Australia is just an hour’s drive north from Cairns via a spectacular coastal road that is surrounded by forest and the Coral Sea. The climate is seductive. Balmy days dissolve into tropical evenings with velvet starry skies. It is the only place on Earth where two World Heritage listed jewels exist; the Great Barrier Reef and the rainforest of Daintree and Cape Tribulation. Refresh, restore and revitalise, in the aquamarine reef waters of the Coral Sea, the crystal creeks of Mossman Gorge, and the palm fringed golden sands of Port Douglas’ Four Mile Beach.

Nestled above Cairns, Koranda is a town caught in the 1960's. Lots of little cottage industries and hosts a really fantastic rain forest tour.

In 2008 Dani and I drove around North Queensland, flying into Cairns and doing a big loop down to Townsville and back up again. One of my favourite parts of the world.

Charters Towers is really cool little town with a lot of character and history.

One of the nicest spots in the North!

A Few Days in Townsville!

We took some pictures on the drive down from Cairns to Townsville!
