Guide to a Holiday in Cairns for Locals
Guide to a Holiday in Cairns for Locals: Emma Lucas, a resident at Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, discusses Cairns and the reasons why you should visit this summer in this month’s interview.
How long have you lived in TNQ?
About seven or eight years of age. The pleasant weather enticed me to fly here from New Zealand!
In three words, how would you describe TNQ?
Sunny, tropical, and tranquil. Cairns is the ideal vacation spot for anyone who seek a break from the fast-paced world.
What are the three most important things to do in the Tropical North if you’re a first-time visitor?
Exploring the Barrier Reef by scuba or snorkeling, dining on the delectable cheese and wine of the Atherton Tablelands, and much more besides are all on the itinerary. Breakfast at Edge Hill’s Ozmosis Café. Cairns is home to a wide variety of excellent eateries serving only the finest, locally sourced cuisine.
Is the Skyrail Rainforest Cableway the only attraction in the area?
Not to mention the military museum, the Tjapukai cultural center and café, and the fresh fish market. Several more North Queensland sites are easily positioned near Skyrail, which is a blessing.
What kinds of wildlife may guests anticipate seeing?
Tree kangaroos and cassowaries…
What’s the top spot in Cairns to have a meal?
Guide to a Holiday in Cairns for Locals: The residents love Ochre on the boardwalk.
What’s the best spot in Cairns to get a drink?
The boatshed or salthouse.
If someone is planning a week-long visit, where would you recommend they stay?
The vast pools in Palm Cove, Sea Temple. Just far enough away to have some solitude, but close enough to the mall and good restaurants that you can go in for a quick bite.
In your opinion, what is the optimum aspect of Cairns life?
The kind locals and relaxed pace of life. The Great Barrier Reef is also quite close by!
In your opinion, when is the ideal season to go?
Your heat tolerance will determine the exact months, although it might be anywhere from May to September. The 5 knot season, often known as “glass out,” begins in October and lasts all the way into January. If you’re a serious diver, this is the time to go diving.
What is the most recommended off-the-beaten-path destination?
Drops at either Ross and Locke or Behana Creek. Since you won’t see any advertisements for these hidden jewels, you’ll have to contact a local to find out about them.
