iPlay @ Cairns, Australia

Cairns


While talking about Cairns, most of you might think of Great Barrier Reef. Yes! This is why I’m here! This marine wonderland and Unesco World Heritage Site harbours one of the richest ecosystems on the planet. Of course, this is best place for diving or snorkelling. Maybe meet a sea turtle if you are lucky enough. 
Marlin Jetty Cairns. Where I departed. It took around 90 mins to Outer Great Barrier Reef.

The sea is crystal clear. Looks like yummy blue jelly. 
I apologise for not being able to share photo of this sea world as I do not have waterproof camera with me.  

Other tourist attraction – Kuranda

Kuranda Village is a township in the rainforest. Local markets are up there, selling unique souvenirs and gift items, Butterfly sanctuary, Koala Garden and many many more!

I chose go up by train to Kuranda and come back to Cairns by cable car.
Heading to the village in the rainforest! 
Surrounded by lush green forest, take a deep breath~~ to taste the fresh air.

iPlay @ Brisbane, Australia

It is third-largest city in Australia.

My first destination today - Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary! This is an easy half-day trip. Located around 30 minutes from town, public transport to the here is so convenient.


Pay $35 to enter. Let’s go!

Unfriendly and super arrogant but damn adorable . How I wish I can bring them home.


Then, Kangaroo! they are just eat,sleep and poo in front of me :D

They are so lazy and good tempered. I was able to get a chance to see a mommy-kangaroo carrying her joey. *Heart melt*

Beside these, there are a lot of other animals inside the park such as Tasmania devil, wombat, birds and many more. The Sanctuary is totally worth a visit even if you are not an animal lover.

Peaceful surroundings. Hear the birds sing!


South bank Brisbane, this is perfect place to relax and unwind. Hope you can feel it too!
