Cairns - A mega city in the north...

Well after the Coral Sea, Cairns was a mega city for the crew of Lucey Blue. We pulled into Marlin Marina and were slightly overwhelmed by the range of shops and the number of people cruising around the port district.

Nonetheless, Cairns has a great feel about it and everyone is really friendly. We spent time checking out bookshops, finding ice blocks and enjoying a nice meal or two. We even managed to send off all the schoolwork that had been backing up.

One of our favorite spots was Rusty's Markets. The range, quality and price of the fresh fruit and vegetables available every Friday, Saturday and Sunday is outstanding!

What a lovely spot to stop for a while...
