FREE FUN & EXPLORATION AT THE BOTANICAL GARDENS, CAIRNS


FLECKER BOTANICAL GARDENS, CENTENARY LAKES, ZHANJING CHINESE FRIENDSHIP GARDEN & RED ARROW WALK

I have a great fondness for Tropical Plants of Far North the Queensland, one of the reasons I moved back to Cairns is to enjoy tropical gardens and gardening.

Cairns has a wonderful well established small Botanical Gardens located in the city suburb of Edge Hill (The Flecker Botanical Gardens dates back to 1876). The Botanical Gardens may be the star of the show there but there are other areas of interest to check out in this suburb making it a great, affordable morning or afternoon for locals and visitors. It’s only a short drive or local bus journey from the Cairns CBD. Any of the buses heading towards our northern beach suburbs can drop you off on the main highway at Collins Avenue, only a short stroll in towards all there is to see. AND….…. it’s all FREE!

After parking my car under large majestic fig trees I headed off through the rainforest boardwalks first, towards Centenary Lakes. Firstly, remember to put on loads of insect repellent as they really love the conditions in there and will eat you alive otherwise! You feel like you have been magically transported miles away into the dense thick tropical rainforest that could be up in the Daintree or elsewhere. Huge Kauri Pines tower above you, massive Strangler Figs try to take over the world and Giant Ferns splay out above the boardwalk. You can feel how ancient these plants are and you feel so small. So amazing to think this is located just minutes away from Cairns CBD!

After passing through the gardens surrounding the salt water lake on to the fresh water lake I arrive at the new Zhanjiang Friendship Garden (on Greenslopes Street, opened November 2015). Zhanjiang is the sister city  in China to Cairns. You immediately felt at peace as soon as you arrive. Pause for a moment and take time to absorb the peaceful energy.

Many birds inhabit the lake so if your a birdy person, like me,  make sure you bring your super dupe lenses ready for close ups. One of my favourite birds are the Magpie Geese. They come from Asia and migrate here in our cooler months in the middle of the year. They actually like to hang out in high tree branches, despite their weight, and have a hilarious “honk” that is all slightly different  from one bird to another. I find them quiet comical when a group is all honking up in swaying trees.

Eventually I made my way back towards Collins Avenue to the start of the Red Arrow Walk heading up through the Mount Whitfield Conservation Park (1.3km). This is a circuit walk that takes only 25 minutes to a lookout point. It is really popular with the locals as a fitness circuit in the early, lunchtime and later hours of the day. Why? Because there are a gazillion stairs! If you don’t mind stairs, the gardens surrounding the walk are beautiful as it changes from dense tropical foliage at the start to woodland and bush when you reach the top. You can watch the planes land and take off at the top if you need a break before continuing. Once up there, you can continue the ridge walk called the Blue Arrow for another couple of hours or make your way down with shaking legs towards the Botanical Gardens Visitors Centre.

Before popping into the centre I wandered into the old World War 2 oil tanks next door. This is an artistic cultural musical centre in Cairns called simply, “The Tanks”. All sorts of events are held here. Today there was a free art exhibition (which there usually is). If you can afford it, make sure you make a gold coin donation and support local artists.

I have been to the Botanical Gardens many times in the past however this time I was keen to check out the relatively new fernery (The Watkins Munro Martin Conservatory, opened September 2015).  The building is shaped like a giant Fan Palm frond (the symbol of Cairns Council). Inside are Bromeliads, Carnivorous Plants, Ferns, Palms, Orchids and more. This is a great facility, you must come and check it out. Let the pictures do the talking!

All in all it was a great few hours spent wandering around and enjoying the beauty of Tropical North Queensland. You can linger longer here, there is more to explore around the gardens and also coffee shops at the Visitors Centre and the Botanical Gardens. Edge Hill is also known for it’s cafe culture, with a few well respected restaurants and cafes… perfect for fuel after all the walking!

A MAGICAL MOORE REEF EXPERIENCE - WITH SUNLOVER BY STARLIGHT



IT’S TIME TO CAMP OUT AT THE GREAT BARRIER REEF IN A SWAG!
Yes, I did say “camp out”. Words you may associate with the Australian Outback or out in the bush. This next experience I was fortunate to partake in was exactly that, camping out under the stars with minimal facilities… the great outdoors! Just me, the stars and my swag.
What is a “swag”???? Do you mean I have "got good swag"?
No! Today the term “swag” is used when someone has “game” or “good moves”. If you Google the definition it says “Appearance, style, or the way he or she presents themselves”. To us Australians, a swag has meant something else entirely for a long time before the current urban meanings came about. It is a small single man (or woman) canvas tent that you can zip up completely if it rains or only have the fly zipped up to keep insects out and to keep cool. It has a comfy mattress inside. Back in the day, a swag was just a matt for drovers to sleep on whilst herding cattle across the land, basically a bed that can be taken anywhere and set up anywhere. Today, it’s more like “glamping”.

So I was ready to accept the challenge of seeing the reef in a different way. To stay overnight out there is usually on a boat staying in a cabin with all the mod-cons. This time for me it is in a swag set up on a 45metre long stable pontoon, 26 nautical miles off the Cairns coast at Moore Reef.
The adventure begins with checking in at the Reef Fleet Terminal in the Cairns CBD. This looks like a little airport terminal and you line up with your voucher (the boats to the reef must be pre-booked) at the company you booked with. I was issued with my ticket and sent down to the boat for boarding.
The boat is a little overwhelming if it’s busy, ill be honest with you, there can be many international tour groups on this visit to the reef so you just have to look past that and get on with enjoying the day. The operation is well organised when you board. After a cheesy photo opportunity by the Calypso Reef Imagery staff you find yourself a comfy seat and grab an included tea or coffee. There are many staff located throughout the vessel, helping organise Scuba Dives, Seawalker Helmet Dives, Guided Snorkel Tours & Helicopter Flights. All of this can be organised on the boat for additional costs. The staff also speak many languages making it easy for those international guests.
The journey over will take just under 2 hours. It stops briefly at Fitzroy Island to collect more passengers, giving you ample opportunity to photograph it. As well a all the briefings and Marine Biologist talk on the journey out to Moore Reef, I myself had my own briefing for my overnight experience. Luke & Danni were our hosts for the next couple of days. These 2 would be staying behind on the pontoon with me when the day boat returns to Cairns. We were given the itinerary rundown, met the other passengers who we’d be spending time with and how it’s all working over the next 2 days. They highly stressed that we were to be all alone out on the reef with no easy way to return to land… unless you forked out of a very expensive helicopter! This might scare people off… but for me, this is what I was looking forward to the most!!!!

I was incredibly lucky with the weather. To enjoy this experience the most, you need to be on top of the weather forecast and plan your overnight when the wind is calm (below 10knots is best) and the sun is out. When we arrived at the pontoon at Moore Reef it was pretty much a glass out (flat water with no waves) and a bright sunny day without a cloud in the sky. When the boat arrived at the pontoon, I remained on the top deck of the boat taking snaps while all the passengers alighted and got themselves organised for the day. This too, can be overwhelming. People rushing around to get a table for their family, de-robing and slathering on sunscreen and trying to find out where everything is. People rush towards the first glass bottom boat tour of the day (included in the cost) which is totally unnecessary! To avoid the rush and panic of all the tour groups, take my advice and TAKE YOUR TIME! You have 4 hours on the pontoon, PLENTY OF TIME to take in all the activities, eat lunch and snorkel you little heart out! Once everyone finally gets settled there is plenty of room to move about and the whole energy of the day chills out a bit. People disperse to go for a swim, go on the semi-submersible tour (also included), check out the underwater observatory or head to the buffet lunch on the boat. So when you arrive, let the dust settle and then get involved in the day!

Time for a semi-submersible tour for me. Loads of room inside (it’s huge) and commentary was in English and Mandarin. I didn’t feel like I could see much in relation to other semi-sub tours at other reefs I had been on. I was a little concerned about the quality of the reef afterwards and how good my snorkel will be.
No one will sit with me! Inside the large semi-sub. Photo by Tara Reynolds.

I was feeling a little peckish so I decided to load up lunch at the buffet on the boat. Plenty to choose from, hot & cold meals, salads, cured meats, fresh prawns and fresh tropical fruits. I gave it my seal of approval.
Photo's of the delicious Sunlover included buffet lunch by Tara Reynolds.

Once my lunch settled a little, I decided to hit the water. I have all my own snorkel equipment but if you don’t have your own mask & flippers they have plenty on the pontoon to use, a set for everyone. They also have a huge amount of safety vests if your not the strongest of swimmers. I noticed a group heading off on their Guided Snorkel Tour… just perfect if you want more out of your snorkel and need a little help… these guides know where all the good corals and fish are (want to find Nemo?) and they give out information during the tour. See my link below for a short video of the Guided Snorkel Tour.
Link to my video of the guided snorkel tour & pontoon.

So off I head into the big blue, armed with my underwater camera from http://calypsoproductions.com.au/cairns-underwater-camera-hire/ not knowing what I was going to find…. if I was to find anything at all. Thankfully, Moore Reef didn’t disappoint! You couldn’t get me out of the water! I was totally surprised (especially after the disappointing semi-sub tour).

After a snorkel that exceeded my expectations (Moore Reef was amazing. So much coral diversity and different fish species to spot and photograph) The staff held a touch tank demonstration where passengers could hold a star fish or a sea cucumber. These animals were put safely out back in to the water after the show. There was also fish feeding where my inner child came out as I was handed some fish food.

My link to the touch tank video on youtube. Video by Tara Reynolds.

Slowly bust surely… the moment had arrived when the day boat returned back to Cairns with all it’s many passengers. This was such an amazing feeling! When the boat was gone… all you could hear, was silence. Now the magic happens! This is what this adventure is all about! When that boat disappeared off towards Fitzroy Island I thought that was already pretty darn cool. Little did I know then how amazing this experience would actually be.
We were treated to a delicious cheese & crackers platter and I got to engage in pleasant conversation with my adventure buddies. Luke & Danni set up for the evening, explained how the chemical toilet, sink for washing hands and brushing teeth and warm shower works. They turned on the generator for light an power… I thought this was very cool because I could charge my iPhone and we could play some tunes.
Each moment continued to be awesome! The 3 of us were next treated to a private guided snorkel tour with Luke. Private… because no one else was there!!! We got to swim outside of the normal day snorkel area and check out other sections of the reef. Luke was full to the brim with reef knowledge of all things corals, fish, turtles and reef sharks.

The sun was nearing the horizon so after our swim it was time to have a shower and get changed, crack a coldie and pull up a comfy camp chair to watch the sun go down (You per purchase your alcohol on the boat before it departs for Cairns and the staff put it on ice for you). You don’t always get sunsets like this on the East Coast of Australia. It was unbelievable… you can never tire of a great sunset. Could this adventure get any better?!
Photo of the amazing sunset from my Instagram account, Taz_Reinholtz.

The answer is… YES! Dinner by twilight is why. The staff had set up and table with cloths and candles on the end of the pontoon which has no roof. A beautiful BBQ buffet was also set up with a choice of marinated chicken pieces, reef fish & steak (cooked by Danni on the BBQ) and an array of tropical salads (provided by an outside caterer). As the sky changes hue and the stars slowly reveal themselves we all dined together as a group, shared conversation and had a drink. It would have to had been one of the best restaurants I had been too! What ambiance!

After dinner and drinks it was time for our swag demonstration. The staff help you set it up and give you fresh linen for your mattress and a pillow.

All that was left to do was finish our drinks and have a tea and coffee whilst star gazing from the camp chairs. They turn the generator off, now that silence was even more epic than when the day boat left! That night I left my swag fly open and fell asleep under thousand stars. I counted 10 shooting stars and with a free star gazing app… you could see what constellation was what and what planets were in our southern sky. There is very little light pollution from Cairns and the moon was already close to the horizon making for optimal viewing. I obviously don’t have pictures of this, you’ll just have to come along on Sunlover Starlight to see how amazing the stars are yourself!
In the morning…. we were greeted to an amazing sunrise. I didn’t think I could top the sunset experience…but as the adventure continued it only got better and better! Another amazing day with stunning conditions lay ahead.

Stunning images from the sunrise! Photo's by Tara Reynolds.

After a tea or coffee and light breakfast we head out on another guided snorkel tour. This time on the out-of-bounds area where the boat normally moors along side the pontoon. The visibility was at least 20 meters, we were experiencing another glass out. After touring around with Luke we were able to explore another reef to the side of the pontoon on our own.

I wouldn’t have come out of the water if it wasn’t the announcement of a hot cooked breakfast!
Photo's of breakfast by Tara Reynolds.

After breakfast was “free time” to do as we pleased. Grab some sun, take a shower, snorkel again…. I chose to snorkel again. I wanted to make the most of this time alone with no other people. I also had the idea of using the lifeguard stand up paddle board and go for a SUP. There wasn’t a proper paddle so I made do with a dingy oar. Turns out this was a wicked idea! The amount of corals and fish you could see from above, words can’t really describe! This turned out to be an awesome inclusion and I hope they offer it to future passengers. It was a perfect little workout in-between snorkels and great a great way to entertain myself as Luke and Danni were busy cleaning up breakfast and getting ready for the day boat to return.

And return it did, with 100 passengers. I was called in from my snorkel to get all my gear organised and on a table with my fellow overnighters. This time I watched the arrival frenzy first hand and didn’t leave my table until the dust settled and the pontoon chilled out again. I was a little sad when the boat returned, like the adventure was over. IT WASN’T! Time for a glass bottom boat tour, underwater observatory, another fantastic lunch and another super snorkel. I was on a mission to find Nemo and another shark and use up all my space on my SD card. MISSION SUCCESS!!!

So it was nearing time to depart (cue sad face) Normally you would take the “almost” 2 hour boat back to Cairns. But not for this lady! I was going home in style, in a helicopter with http://www.nautilusaviation.com.au/ 
Excited about my flight home to Cairns. Photo by Tara Reynolds.

This is an optional extra but it is worth every cent, especially after 2 full days on the reef! There is a small helicopter pontoon a short distance from the main pontoon. Nautilus run 10 minute flights throughout the day and you can also fly out to the pontoon instead of taking the boat at all! I was cutting my return time by an hour and a half! I hadn’t been in a helicopter over the reef before. It was phenomenal! We were taken over to the heli-pad in the tender craft and as the last load of scenic flight passengers disembarked, it was our turn to get on the chopper! I got to sit in the front with the pilot. The scenery was AMAZE-BALLS!

Unfortunately, the saying goes, all good things do come to an end. I will say this about my experience… IT 100% EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS! I have come away with fantastic photos from the air to the sea, from sunset to sunrise and all in between. I made many jealous on my Instagram account, I ate delicious food and met wonderful people. The 2 full days allowed me to completely absorb the Great Barrier Reef through many aspects. The reef sight itself was superb and the program combined for the day trips to overnight well managed and ran smoothly. Yes, the weather was pretty much off the hook so if you time it right, it will only enhance your experience.
Be you a non-swimmer or have a non-swimmer in your family or group, the day trip to the Sunlover Pontoon is a definite option for you. There is so much to see and do without even getting wet! There is great variety in the day (if you can look past the crowds).
It’s hard to choose a favourite moment from this experience, the sunset & sunrise was pretty darn epic and hard to beat! I will say this however, snorkelling without any crowds in the late afternoon and early morning was something I will never forget. You don’t get to do this often, even for someone like me who is fortunate to snorkel the reef often. For the snorkelling alone, this makes Sunlover Starlight worth it.
I loved my time with Sunlover Starlight and hope many more people book this adventure when they come to this corner of the world to see the Great Barrier Reef. This is the perfect way to make the most of your time and see as much as you can without being trapped on a boat for 1 to 2 nights. You can book your Sunlover Adventures at a Tourist Information Centre in Cairns or online. If I get the chance to do it again…. I would be there in a heartbeat!

Many thanks Sunlover, Calypso & Nautilus Aviation!

DISCOVER THE DAINTREE, MOSSMAN GORGE & CAPE TRIBULATION

 

SMALL GROUP TOUR WITH DISCOVERY TOURS

I have been to the World heritage Listed UNESCO Daintree Rainforest recently so it was excellent to get on another tour to check out the differences.
Today my guide's name was Steve and as usual I was greeted with a broad smile as I boarded the small tour van (hotel transfers included).
We began our journey North towards Port Douglas via the Melaleuca lined Esplanade in Palm Cove. After arriving in Port Douglas with in-depth commentary from Steve about it's history and beginnings, we found ourselves at look out point Flagstaff Hill. YES, the below picture is the phenomenal view you can see on a nice day (I totally promise I took that picture!).

Flagstaff Hill. Photo taken by Tara Reynolds.


Continuing the journey, 15 minutes out of Port Douglas we arrive at Mossman Gorge, just outside the township carrying the same name. There is a Visitors Centre managed by the Kuku Yalanji people that you need to check in to before heading out to the gorge for your rainforest walk and swim. We were treated to morning tea with home made Wattleseed Damper with local jam and cream, Australian Billy Tea and local Coffee.

Due to a past of overcrowding, pollution from idling buses and traffic/parking issues... you now pay a small fee ($9.10return, included in the tour cost) to get a short 5 minute bus to the start of the walks.

The Entrance to the Visitor Centre & bus information. Photos by Tara Reynolds.


We were in a full bus load of people and there was more already at the walks. It was a dull morning, a little cool and drizzling so no one was really keen to take a dip in the Gorge (the current was also too strong from the recent rains up river) so everyone was on the walk at the same time. I am going to be honest with you, this was not favourable and I have had better rainforest experiences. The backpackers were jumping up and down on the suspension bridge and it was crowded, hard to absorb the true essence of the rainforest and absorb it's energy.
Steve did give us all the information we needed about what we could see and thankfully not every moment was spent in crowds. When it comes to your potential visit to Mossman Gorge, I feel it has it's plusses and its minuses. It is the more commercial part of the Daintree and at peak periods there will most definitely be crowds. The appeal to some is that it is not far from Cairns or Port Douglas and for those who don't like long walks or families with children... this may work for you. For most, this may be the first time you get to see our beautiful rainforest region so I am sure you will appreciate it's beauty and put the crowds to the back of your mind. The Visitors Centre runs Dreamtime walks and half day tours as well.
Link to Mossman Gorge Information & Visitors Centre.

Lunch was the next stop after Mossman, unfortunately I felt it was a little too soon after our delicious Damper but it couldn't be helped. The Daintree Tea House... http://www.daintreerainforest.com/organisations/daintree-teahouse-restaurant.1037/ was where we dined in a lovely tropical setting for our included meal. You got to choose from a variety of meals, this day I chose Wild Barramundi cooked in white wine and herbs... it didn't disappoint! The fish was light and flavoursome served with crunchy hot chips and side salad. Other options included chicken or vegetarian and kangaroo if your a visitor to Australia and would like to sample our Coat of Arms!


A great inclusion at the lunch stop was the tasting of tropical fruits. These came on your main plate and a restaurant staff member runs you through each one, where they grow, their history and flavours as you taste them.

One of the highlights for me was the Estuarine Crocodile cruise on the Daintree River. There are a few companies that operate "croc spotting cruises", on this tour we joined the public on the boat Solar Whisper. http://www.solarwhisper.com
Can I use the term... IT WAS AMAZE-BALLS?!? Too late, I just did! We spotted 4 crocs (2 babies, one teenage male and one larger female). The commentary was insightful and interesting and our guide went out of his way to get through shallow inlets right up close to them. The boat itself is electric charged by solar panels on the roof (hence the name) always allowing the boat to not be too invasive towards the local wildlife and as silent as a whisper! Check out my short videos of the 2 larger crocodiles we spotted! I won't say much more about the 1 hour cruise, only that you can choose this cruise with confidence over others. It's conveniently located right near the Daintree Ferry Crossing so it fits well into any itinerary.

Conveniently the cruise drops us on the other side of the Daintree River where Steve is waiting for us and we board the bus once again heading northwards through the heart of the Daintree. This is the oldest section of rainforest that we will see on this tour, the famous section known for "Where the Rainforest meets the sea". This is where the Great Diving Range ends, and the World Heritage Listed Daintree meets World Heritage Listed, Great Barrier Reef. After a look over the Coral Sea viewing Snapper Island for a photo opportunity we arrive half an hour later at Cape Tribulation Beach. 
Cape Tribulation is a small township and the end of the line for any 2-wheel drive cars as the road turns to 4WD from there. There are additional activities to do at "Cape Trib" such as wildlife night tours, horse rides on the beach, Jungle Surfing, snorkelling with turtles and more. On this tour we don't have time for those activities, you'd have to stay the night in one of the many different styles of accommodation. We just spent time on the beach, enjoying the sunshine and taking some arty snaps.

It's always sad to say goodbye to Cape Tribulation and turn the bus around and head back south towards Cairns. The sadness was dulled however by a delicious ice cream purchased from Daintree Ice Cream Company. http://daintreeicecream.com.au The $6.50 cup includes x4 flavours of the day (I rated the Macadamia the most!) and other options are available such as icy poles. I wish we could linger there longer, but alas, we needed to continue heading south towards the ferry crossing on route back to Cairns.
Don't forget the ice cream! Photo by Tara Reynolds.
