Coconut crazy in Cairns


Cairns was typically hot and sticky when we arrived and after settling in, we were off again to take Josh to the airport. And, in usual Josh fashion we were running extremely late for the flight. 

We had been given a site next to another family with kids which sounded good until we saw all three of the adults there smoking, screaming and having not much regard for others around. We had already settled in and the caravan was positioned so we weren’t moving. Thankfully two of the adults left after the weekend and the mother with her kids was actually a very friendly lady. 

The week went past very quickly and although we didn’t do a whole lot, we enjoyed the lagoon in town, the night markets and a few visits to the shops. Ruby had found the ice-cream shops and in particular Cold Rock Ice-creamery, and all were happy. 

The Coconut Palms Park was amazing once again for a Big4 caravan park. With kids activities, outdoor movies, games rooms, free pancake mornings, go karts and a huge water park, the kids were kept amused for hours. 

Finally Josh was home and we were getting excited about our next destination, Port Douglas. A bit of luxury with Rose and Davo at the Villa on the beach was just what the doctor ordered. In fact he actually did!
