Day 298: Flight to Queensland

My flight out of Melbourne was a pretty relaxed one. The plane didn't leave until 3:20pm, so getting to the airport wasn't as rushed as it sometimes is. The flight to Cairns was lower than a lot of the others I've done, so I got to see quite a bit of the terrain as we flew over.

Cairns itself is pretty small, and without anything much to do. The evening I got there I wandered around a bit to get some dinner, but other than little travel shops and restaurants there isn't anything exciting. For tourists it's mainly just a launching point to get at some of the interesting things in the area, which is what I also planned to do.
