Tazzy Talk 10 Cairns

Tazzie Talk 10!!!!

I have just had a really good time in Cairns. We went to 2 islands, on a really cool train, the Sky Rail, the port Douglas market and Ellis Beach.

Green Island

Green Island, beautiful. Before we had gotten off the boat we had already seen a turtle. As soon as we got on to the beach I got into my bathers and jumped into the really warm water.  It was not very long before we saw our first fish a huge GT came swimming past.

When we got to the corals lots of little colourful fish came swimming past. I really liked the snorkelling it was so cool. I really liked when it got deep enough for me to dive down and get  closer to the fish and corals.

After out snorkelling we went on this glass bottom boat. It was awesome, but I liked the snorkelling better. You got to see lots of fish when we got to the place were they feed the fish. It was nearly the end of the tour when we saw a green sea turtle. His name was squirt and he was the cutest thing I have ever seen.

When we were leaving we saw 2 turtles. They were logger head turtles. I have never seen one in the wild before. Well I saw one at long island but it was dead.

The port Douglas market was HUGE. It was a really big market. As soon as we had got into the market we came across this jewellery store. I got a necklace and a kangaroo made from shells.




When we were about to leave we went to the part of the market that we had only just seen. It was lucky because we got a tie die beater for Ry and lots of fresh fruit.

Ellis Beach

“OHHHHHHHHH he’s so cute” I said as I jumped out of the car and ran to the little dog. Even though I hadn’t asked the owner I knew he was friendly because as soon as I got close to him he ran up to me tail wagging.

His name was Squidward and he was a really cute Auzzie Sheppard. When the lady came up she told us that she bought him here because he was going to his first show very soon and could be a bit shy at times.

The Kunundra Train

  After about 1 hour and 13 tunnels we came up to our first waterfall. We were on The Kunundra Train and we were driving right past a beautiful waterfall that would look amazing in the wet season.  When we were nearly at the end of the trip we pulled up at a HUGE waterfall that would blow me away in the wet season. It was just beautiful.

Sky rail

When we got off the train we pulled up at the sky rail. We went flying in pods over the amazing rainforest in Cairns. It was really cool. We got to stop twice to go for little walks that were really nice. At the end when the boys had gone to get the car I got a little Cassowary toy. It is so fluffy and 50c of the money went to protecting these pretty animals.

 Fitzroy Island

Fitzroy Island was actually really different to Green Island. It was more like the outa reef. We got different corals and bigger fish. There was more space to dive down at high tide.

There was a tramp about 15ms off shore and when we were out there we saw a sting ray and that was really cool. When we were on the beach and mum and Ann Maree were snorkelling they got attacked by tiny clown fish!!

I hope you all have a good time on holidays. Until next time Taz
