Cairns/Port Douglas open and ready for you, the tourist.

G'day all

Well after 4 weeks in Cairns I'm off home to Scone on Saturday.

While we have been up here we have been amazed at the lack of tourists.

No big crowds at any of the popular tourist spots.

Yet none of the infrastructure up here was damaged during cyclone Yasi. It was good for us as we had plenty of room at everywhere we went.

On the Skyrail only 2 of us in a 6 person carriage. On the senic railway everyone had a window seat.
It was the same everywhere we went, Not that many tourists.

I even went on a half day fishing and crabbing tour with only three other tourists. I have to recomend 'Fishinf and Crabbing Tours' Henry, the owner, was great it cost $89 for 4 hours and thoroughly enjoyable.

We really had a great time here and would urge people to consider the Cairns/Port douglas and surounding areas when you are looking for a great holiday.
