Hi folks, heading back to Cairns for today's post. Apart from the football, the thing I was most looking forward to in the Top End was taking the railway to Kuranda. So we organised it a couple of days before we went at the hotel lobby where the tour company got us tickets taking the …

To stop for a second wrapping all my accommodation reviews into one post for this once, I felt that Cosmic Guesthouse deserved its own review. Not because it was the most amazing place I’ve ever stayed, neither was it the most dire. But it certainly is an institution. I mean, it’s not often that you …
