Cairns: City, Beaches & Fitzroy Island: Your Ultimate Travel Guide!

[@theoffender3113]

I live in Cairns…. And I love it…. The fishing, the restaurants and the endless summers

[@vidzhere5027]

I lived in California for a decade & then moved back to India as I wanted to be close to parents . Living away from parents & seeing all that beautiful green parks looks like fun for a while & then I discovered ,I find true happiness in when I can drop by my mom's place in an hour anytime ,I could spend my weekend just chilling with dad & going for that early morning walk in Himalayas , holding his hand & chit chatting just like I used to do when I was kid ,gardening & then barbecuing in the evening ,making paneer tikka & whole family putting up beds on terrace watch starlit sky & talk until we all fall asleep. Its a wholesome feeling & I felt I would never trade of this for anything in universe. Today after seeing your video ,its just reminded me of US & lakes , I 'm feeling bit confused.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts. Life in the Himalayas sounds wonderful and I hope to visit the region one day

Just found your channel. Beautifully made videos. Stunning scenery. You've inspired me to add North Queensland to my motorbike road trip itinerary. Great work 👏

[@jeetts59]

You have definitely developed a style of presentation that’s so chilled but makes you want to keep watching. Looking forward to the next one.

Beautiful just got back from cairns a few days ago and it is exactly a paradise!

[@jacekwojtas7335]

Very good video!

[@LetsGo012]

Thanks 😀

[@suzymcgregor3122]

Terry you are so entertaining ! I admire the way you can just take off and explore this great land, you have a very happy disposition and i filters to us all. I’ve never been up to Cairns and along with jelly fish crocodiles NOW there are stinging Trees! OMG. I’ll sit tight and observe from a far thanks. Wish you all the best look forward to next Video. Suzy

[@LetsGo012]

Thanks Suzy. I’m always curious what’s over the next hill. 😀

What doesn’t get talked about enough is the importance of mangroves (not far from the mudflats in the video) to marine ecosystems. Cairns sits on the edge of the Coral Sea, which, from what I’ve read online, is home to the most biodiverse marine ecosystem in the world.

Great distraction, thanks! :)

Another great one! I’ve been seeing Kuranda in a few videos lately & it’s now high on my bucket list! I love hippy towns with spiritual vibes! I’d love to do the train ride too. I love the relaxed vibe of your videos, & how much information & history you share about the places you visit. Looking forward to seeing where you end up next!

[@LetsGo012]

Thanks so much. Hopefully I’ll get to a Nimbin along my travels

[@sallyb1433]

@@LetsGo012 I’ve been there before but didn’t think it had a very good kind of vibe. The scenery was beautiful though. I much prefer Mullumbimby & Byron Bay, although Byron is extremely busy these days. I just visited for the day on the long weekend & it was absolutely packed!

[@calais2005]

Love the Cairns Tour mate and Palm Cove is somewhere I know well from years of vacationing to. Sorry to hear Jamie & you have parted ways

[@LetsGo012]

Thanks. It’s all good

[@glenndarragh4417]

Another great video Terry. As nice as the Cairns area is I think the Atherton Tableland is my favourite of the last few episodes. The stinging tree is known as the Gympie Gympie tree, there was a case a few years back of a woman who crashed into one on her mountain bike and described the pain as worse than childbirth. I believe she was hospitalized for some time recovering.

[@LetsGo012]

Thanks. Cairns is lovely - and Fitzroy Island is magical - but I must say I prefer the Tablelands, especially around Milla Milla

[@lisa-mareecolombo2991]

[@LetsGo012]

We’ve gone our separate ways ways

[@davebarns1]

That’s not ideal, Terry

@@LetsGo012 sorry to hear that, but gosh I love your style of reporting, so natural & relatable. 😍

Coral beaches ,bring shoes !

Where did your travel companion go

[@LetsGo012]

We’ve gone our separate ways. So it’s back to solo travelling.

[@carlwereld5131]

Hey I have also plans to travel around australia in a van like you Do you spend sometimes the night parkt along the road .Do you need a toilet to stay on a free camping cite (i read about that)

[@LetsGo012]

Hi. I mix it up between caravan parks with amenities and free parks along the way and national parks. I don’t have a toilet or shower onboard but there are public toilets everywhere. Do it. It’s an amazing lifestyle and nothing beats the freedom 😀

[@AndrewCastlemaine]

The Gympie-Gympie is the nasty stinging bush up there - the fruit, flowers - in fact all of the bush is toxic and covered with stinging, extremely irritating hairs called trichomes which dig in and take their sweet time delivering the painful poison. There is a story (probably apocryphal) of someone in the 19th century landing on a nearby beach and using Gympie-Gympie leaves as toilet paper - with the inevitable result - a highly unlikely story as just picking up the leave would cause extreme pain in the hands and the trichomes can even detach and be inhaled. Saw a YT video some time ago - the usual American-made vid about all things that can kill you or try to kill you in Australia which featured Gympie-Gympie

[@LetsGo012]

That’s great. Thanks so much for the info. I’ll be avoiding them like the plague!
