Traveling Home - Cairns Australia

Cairns Australia is home to the Great Barrier Reef

Arriving 

We had a scramble to catch flights from Sydney to Cairns but everyone made it.  Grandpa gave everyone a Kiwi to remember New Zealand. 

Palm Cove 

We had a nice Condo with a pool right out back.  

The funnest part was watching the Wallabies right in our back yard 

Crocodile hunting

We went on a crocodile spotting expedition.   Lot's of fun!

 Hard to spot crocks in water 

Great Barrier Reef - Day 1

The kids had a blast at Muddy Park, located in Cairns right next to the waterfront.  

Grandma and Grandpa checking it the day before.

Cairns Botanical Gardens and Waterfall

They had some old WW2 fuel tanks that they use for Art Galleries and Concerts.
