Day 12: Cairns City

Our apartment is located in Palm Cove, about 20 minutes outside the city of Cairns.  Since it was overcast and calling for rain this morning, we decided to take the city bus into the city to explore.  It never did end up raining, but we had a wonderful time exploring the farmers market and shops.

The tide was out at the beachfront, but apparently, even when it’s in, it isn’t ideal for the usual beach-going, so there is a large pool, just on the periphery of beach, where everyone escapes the heat.

Before catching our return bus back to Palm Cove, we spotted some fruit bats way up in the tops of the roadside trees (look very closely).

Overall, we had a pleasant escapade into the city.
