Cairns


Photos of Cairns. The lagoon (turquoise triangular pool right foreground) is man made. The city council wisely had the lagoon built since there is no beach in this area and when the tide is out it reveals acres of quite ugly mud flats (other photo). It’s a well used tourist gathering place for those seeking the sun and don't want to make the drive to a beach. The view is from the sea, the water in the background is the inlet where you can find the Cairns Yacht Club, Cairns Cruising Squadron, Navy yard, and lots of moored boats which we try not to hit during our classes.
