A fantastic exchange experience!
Lesley and Ross were amazing hosts, meeting us at the airport, taking us to their beautiful home and sharing it and their lives with us for a full week! Everything was fantastic at their place, and we even had our own little suite section on the main floor! We enjoyed time with drinks and playing in the pool and being taken to so many wonderful places! Fantastic exchange experience all around!

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.
