Cairns Sydney Melbourne Port Douglas!! so much what to do and where to go?
My husband and I will be having our ceremonial wedding in Cairns australia in October 2008 but there is SO much to see and do. What would be your top 5 can’t miss in Cairns/Sydney area? How’s the weather there at this time? We were def. planning on seeing the Great Barrier Reef, Daintree Rainforest, and the butterfly Garden… what are the good beaches/ spas/ restuarants/islands…fairly priced. What about the surrounding areas Cairns like Port Douglas and I wont even start with trying to decide what to do in Sydney. Iam looking for beauty, serenity, and once-in-a-lifetime experience, romance (honeymoon), fun, a good tan, beautiful sunsets/nightskies- landscapes and scenery, I love taking photos. Mark is looking for fun, romance, adventure, and relaxation. What hotels offer honeymoon packages sweets? I can’t find anything real good online sept…chocolates and wine on arrival…any suggestions?
I live in Cairns so will give you info from this ‘dot’ on the globe. I can’t stop at a top 5 though, too many great attractions in Cairns!
Palm Cove is the most popular to stay at for a pair of romantics like you ! http://www.palmcove.net – they have plenty of wedding packages and great restaurants there on the Esplanade.
A trip out on the reef to Green Island – http://www.greatadventures.com.au or http://www.greenisland.com.au
or right out on the Outer Reef Activity Platform – with buffet lunch – well worth it !

You can snorkel out on the reef, take a glass bottom boat, for something real different try the scubadoo – http://www.scubadoocairns.com or seawalker http://www.seawalker.com.au/english_site – all great experiences there is half day trips or full day.
The skyrail http://www.skyrail.com.au takes you up to the rainforest village of Kuranda. (you wanted to see the butterfly sanctuary there, http://www.australianbutterflies.com ) http://www.kuranda.org – or take the skyrail up one way and train back down to the city.

Daintree Discovery Centre – Walking in the rainforest etc – http://www.daintree-rec.com.au The Canopy is amazing!
Paronella Park – it is 1.5 hr from Cairns but WELL worth it if you want romance and GREAT photos – they give you an tour and talk you through the history, an amazing place. http://www.paronellapark.com.au
Port Douglas is about a 50 min drive from Cairns city – worth it for the scenery.

There are more than 30 beaches between Cairns and Port Douglas alone, and most of them past Ellis Beach are practically deserted.
The Cairns Esplanade is only a couple years old, free access to large lagoon swimming are right in town! http://www.cairnsesplanade.com/gallery.html you are spoilt for choice of restaurants on the main strip there also. Cairns Central Mall is a 10 min walk from the Esplanade for your shopping
Enjoy your stay !
