10 best free things to do in Cairns, Australia
10. Hike up the Barron Gorge.
See the Barron falls from the bottom, and watch the tourists at the top wondering how to get where you are.
9. Climb Walsh’s Pyramid for amazing Views.
It’s steep and long, but it’s worth it.
8. Walk from Holloways Beach to Yorkeys Knob.
Even better with a loved one.
7. Go for a Wednesday afternoon sail with the Cairns Cruising Yacht Club.
If they need crew, it’s free.
6. Watch the reef boats come back in from the Marina.
And play pick the most sunburned English backpacker.
5. Float down the Mulgrave river from Ross & Locke reserve to Gordonvale.
If you haven’t got a boat blow up an inner-tube.
4. Enjoy a swim and a cool drink at Lake Placid.
The swims free, the drinks are cheap.
3. Walk the Red Arrow track for views of the city.
Or run, thats what most cairns people do.
2. Swim at Crystal Cascades.
Rockpool after rockpool, waterfall after waterfall.
1. Spend an afternoon in the Lagoon.
The Lagoon at Cairns, Australia
No crocs, no sharks, no jellyfish, just cool clear water.
