- Cairns, Australia, offers the best of two worlds: the rainforest in the mountains, and the Great Barrier Reef.

- Cuddling a koala and petting a kangaroo IS Australia. The reef's marine life and rain forest were the primary reasons I visited. Here I saw completely different flora and fauna than what I take for granted in the U.S. Houseplants grow wild, and instead of squirrels and deer, they have emus and wallabies.

- Cairns, once a sleepy, distant backwater, is now an international tourist gateway offering instant access to the World Heritage-listed Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest. Or, when you've finished, travel further north into the truly remote Cape York Peninsula.

- We went to see the Great Barrier Reef, but found that the area had so much more to offer. The scenic beauty of the surrounding forests, rivers, and high hills are worth coming here for in their own right. We regretted only having a few days here.

- This is journal 2 of 3 for this trip. 12 days --4 in Syndney, 4 in Cairns, and 4 in Melbourne. An amazing trip, everything from hot air ballooning to snorkeling to walks in the rainforest.
