Not just the wonderful coffee, great outdoor Alfresco dining area, delicious avo smash and pancakes - which are all amazing! ~ It's this gorgeous, sassy, love - Tequila-no-T!

15.01.2022 Q: the best season in Cairns? A: The GREEN season!!! ~ Cheapest time to travel and do things No queues or large crowds of people... Nature is at its happiest - particularly with crazy flower bloom(ing?) colours Happy little insects that like to have musical and loud discussions Multiple opportunities to annoy Kevin by stopping to smell and photograph the flowers. ~ Are there really any downsides? Not if you appreciate the fun of rain and the potential to creatively think about what to do! . . . #natureneedsnofilter #beautifulthings #wow #happynature #stopandsmelltheflowers #cairns #tropicalparadise #thegreenseason #wetseason #hellowinter #ellogorgeous! #cheapstuff #besttimetotravel #explorefnq #queensland #backpackerlife #travelaus @ Cairns, Queensland, Australia See more
