Inbound Cairns

Thanks guys.  It really is a gorgeous part of the country.  The Barron River that is on short final comes down a bunch of falls from the hills to the west.  There is a train that winds up the hill to Kuranda, and if so inclined, you can get a gondola ride back (or that trip in reverse).  The tropical air is very different to the dry almost crackly air of the central south.

 

Don’t go in the water... there be crocs.  Big ones.

Fantastic approach. Though... we will make it in a 717 from Qantas later the year.

You suggest we sit on the right side of the plane? OK.

Absolutely, assuming a southerly breeze.  Only water on the left.  That said, on the trip north it’s the other way around - the sea on the right.  Check out the usual route and see if it’s coastal, or in land enough.
