7 Days In Cairns: How to cram it all in!

Hand feed these dudes at Hartley's crocodile adventures!

Last October we spent about a week and a half driving around in far north Queensland (as it's called, even though there's more north than that). Yes, I know, it's been months since I last put anything up. But I had figured no one much was reading it.
As usual, I over planned and had almost every day stuffed with things to do. The weather ended up changing a few plans, because it rained almost every day we were there. Here's a rough run down on what we did, and what you can do too.

Christmas at the coast

This year we headed up to the Sunshine coast in Queensland to spend a few days with Brandon's family for Christmas. It was a really nice break away, and got us back into the beach feeling. Even though we live so close, we have been pretty lazy about heading to the beach regularly. Christmas day was beautiful and we explored the rock pools near our hotel to find nudibrachs of all things! Nudibrachs are sea slugs and I honestly didn't realise they were hardy enough to live in rock pools!

Queen Mary Falls

At Easter we headed up to Queensland for a family visit. After a busy day helping with some renovations on Friday we header to Queen Mary Falls in Girraween NP. It's a fairly short walk from the top of the falls to the bottom. And to be quite honest, I was wrecked from the day before plus a terrible night sleep, so I probably couldn't have done much more walking.
