Cairns

Docked in Cairns this morning.My tour on a train and army duck was cancelled because of mud on the tracks so I took a panoramic tour of the city.It has grown tremendously in recent years.All beaches are north and south of the city with lovely little resorts.
We visited the botanical gardens where we saw all types of ferns.We saw many orchids and red ginger and meleleuca.
Oug guide was the most talkative we've had so far,but very well informed.
Mosquitos were a problem in the gardens.
