Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
The Great Barrier Reef provides excellent snorkeling and diving opportunities. Green Island and Fitzroy Island, located just off Cairns also have accommodation. The famous Daintree rainforest is only two hours north of Cairns with Port Douglas and Mossman Gorge to visit along the way. The Atherton Tablelands just to the west of Cairns is a rural agricultural area which provides a cool respite in summer months and has a wide range of outdoor activities and local food products to enjoy.
Our home exchange - here are our Preferences and House Rules
