Book a harbour view apartment with Cairns Luxury Apartments and you'll be able to see your reef boat from your bedroom! You can't get more centrally located than this. www.cairnsluxuryapartments.com.au
The beaches around Cairns might not be the best, but a short boat ride out to sea and you could be relaxing in the crystal clear waters of Michaelmas Cay. Bliss! #waterlust #colorful www.cheskiesgaplife.com
Want to spot a turtle? A trip to Green Island will pretty much guarantee you a sighting! Just don't expect the best coral for snorkelling, but that's a trade off if you can bag a selfie like this... #waterlust www.cheskiesgaplife.com #colorful
