Day 38

Cairns, Australia

Cairns, a vibrant city on the shores of the Coral Sea, is more than a launchpad to nature’s marvels. The city itself exudes a dynamic urban vibe. Its Esplanade is a lively promenade where locals and visitors converge, while in the Cairns Marina, catamarans and yachts set sail toward the Great Barrier Reef—a living, multi-hued expanse of coral and marine life. Cairns also has a deep connection to the Indigenous peoples of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander cultures, who for tens of thousands of years have woven Dreamtime stories into the land and sea.
