Our home exchange - places to go and things to do while staying in our home
It is necessary to leave our tranquil setting to shop and have a coffee. There are two French patisseries 10 mins drive away - L'Orangerie at Redlynch Central and Le Crouton at Freshwater. Take the train up to Kuranda and the Skyrail back. Visit Tjapukai, an Aboriginal Cultural Precint and, of course, go snorkelling or scuba diving out on the Great Barrier Reef. Lie on the beach at Palm Cove or watch the fisherman on the jetty. Walk up nearby hills and swim in nearby creeks.
