BRISBANE - CAIRNS

The second leg of my journey begins in Brisbane. Perhaps first, in the spirit of "you have to see it once," I'll head back a bit to the Gold Coast, and then via Rockhampton, Mackay, and Townsville to Cairns. My final destination is Palm Cove, about 25 km north of Cairns. From there, I'll probably make a side trip to Cooktown. I'll also enjoy the peace and quiet, the sea, and the beach in Palm Cove for the last few days before traveling on to Tahiti or back to Amsterdam, depending on my final plans.
