We're off to Carins for a wedding in August, i know a lot of you 'well traveled' folk are happy to pass on the must does, avoids and all other suggestions in between. We're more than likley getting a 2 bedroom cabin at the Sunland Holiday park in Carins, as the Inlaws are staying with us as well, as i'm sure you can appreciate finding accomadation for 4 Adults and 2 kids hasnt been easy, therfore the Sunland Park seems a no brainer.

Wedding is obvisouly on the Saturday but we go up the Monday prior and depart he Tuesday after so we certaintly have some time to look around a bit. the wedding its self is up in the Hills somewhere hour and a half out of Cairns so we may even have a look around the area.

Didnt want to fly with Jetstar but the deal we got through the Jetstar birthday sale was to good not to. Direct flights both ways, $1040 return for My wife and I, with the 2 kids (8 and 4).

(I wonder if the Cairns Sunland is like the South Australia one hmmm)

Carey,

Head to the pub on a Friday afternoon, don't take the missus or the kids......bikini waitresses in the front bar [emoji6]

Hire a car, head up to Port Douglas ( full day trip ), go out on one of the boats on the reef ( Reef Magic good for young families - full day trip ), train up to Kuranda, Baron River Gorge to see some water pissing down some rocks, up onto the table lands to Malanda and Atherton to see some hicks and coffee plantations, hit the lagoon on the Cairns foreshore for a day with the kids in the water ( Rattle n Hum bar across the road for you - you're welcome ) and for a half day of laughs go on https://cairnscatchacrab.com.au/ with Tony. Guaranteed feed of fresh muddys and the kids will love it.

For a bloke who loves tins..... I am surprised you've not been to "Cans" before.

Awesome, cheers Boon.

We've hired a 7 seater Kluger from the Airport so that part is orginised. I like the sound of all of the above.

Millaa Millaa falls heading South is a good day trip, too.

Great time of year to go up there, weather will be absolutely perfect 24 hours a day then.

Is Carin the chick getting married?

leave the family behind and get to Giligans. Unreal every night.
Enjoy a cryptonite drink from there.

Golf courses?

Crystal Cascades is a good spot. 20 minute drive from Cairns and the kids will enjoy having a dip there.

Currently here.
Flew up jetstar good package, or so I thought, purchased extra leg room but somehow that didnt happen... ffs still have to rectify that reimbursement.
Spent 2 nights up at Daintree Siesta. Spent 2.5 days exploring the beaches, boardwalks etc.
Walked along the beach in the water, only knee deep. Wasn't until being at the Croc park that I learned why some people are cautious about the water....
Few roadworks going on caused by recent cyclone.
Now in downtown Cairns.
Weather is beautiful.
Today slightly overcast, but currently 23°. So shorts and t shirt it is and and has been everyday.

Get out to the reef and do some snorkeling and diving

Lots of great things up there, but the last place I’d want to be is in Cairns itself.

Train ride to Kuranda

Brewery on the wharf near the convention centre.

I went golfing instead of snorkelling.
Just did the cable carts. Train fully booked

By the way, where is Carins?

Property prices up here aren't too bad, if you dont want to live on esplanade where they are $4mill

The beach front in Cairns is a pile of mud!

Would rather Clifton Beach or Palm Cove....
