Around AU in 58 Days: Cairns Esplanade

                On winter season here is a picture of Cairns Esplanade. People swimming in a public pool at a park! How liberating right? I dont think this could even be possible for manila.How great is that you dont need to pay in for a water park. The Silver Fish designs in the public pool is a good Icon of the Esplanade.

        Its Relaxing to take a stroll at the Esplanade. You would also see some people either longboarding,skateboarding,walking their dogs, jogging, etc. At the Esplanade's Public pool you would also see the shoreline of the ocean, but by the time that we where there it was lowtide. Also the Esplanade has sand! yes Sand! Its a beach in the middle of the park! So Awesome right! but whats better than that is this!

       MAGNUM SANDWHICH! when is this gonna be in the Philippines because if that happens.Im surely gonna rush to the nearest store thats selling this. Funny story. It was winter and i wouldnt want to leave cairns without even tasting this Magnum Sandwhich so i ate it and then i had to make sure i had my jumper with me since it became more freezing:)

WHAT I WORE

Around AU in 58 Days: Port Douglas ,Cairns Queensland

      Another destination far away from the city ptoper of cairns. Port douglas is surely a good retreat! If compared to the philippines its just like subic.

       Our first stop in Port Douglas, St. Mary's by the Sea. A little chapel in the community. What's nice about this chapel is the wonderful ambiance it creates. Instead of figures and stained glass windows the altar's background is the view of the beach, if i am not mistaken its a part of thefour mile beach.I could imagine how wonderful it is here if you get married in this chapel.

    We also got to visit this Old Courthouse. Its just like a little house comparedto what we usually see in the modern cities. Its not a building just a little literally house preserved well in its state as part to honor their heritage.

        We also went to the lookout and marker of the four-mile beach and then after we actually went down to the beach.

         It was winter time and compared to the 3-10 degrees temperature in perth the weather in cairns is pretty warm. Still the water is freezing:) Got a little posy on the rocks: lucky i was able to cross there because a few meters here in this photo there is a sighn wherein they said be careful because sometimes there are crocodiles int he are:) so i was skipping to the rocky area:) at least i got a nice shot!

          Feeling like its summer on a winter season.Heres a candid shot of me enjoying the waves even if the water was freezing!

WHAT I WORE:  

Cotton On loose top, Forever 21 shorts, Montego Bay by Payless Shoes slip ons. Jay jays sunnies

 

       Above is a photo of me in one spot beside the highway with a good view of the four mile beach of cairns.

Around AU in 58 Days: Kuruanda, Cairns

          Flew in to Cairns after a few days in perth. Cairns is a tropical state so even if its winter season its still humid. For a few days it was major climate change for us because we were coming from a cold state. Our first adventure was Kuruanda. Kuruanda is a place to go if you wanna get close to nature, It is a tropical rainforest up in the mountains. In Kuruanda there is this little village where they sell all native items.from stones jewels to kangaroo fur.

         Everything in the bazaar is native so ,in the photo above the stuff behind me is like a musical instrument the aboriginals use. Aboriginal is what they call their natives.

Kangaroo FUR

Hmmm FUR!! What to choose?

     In the local fair they also have all sorts of merchandise made of kangaroo fur. As kangaroos arent really endangered but rather overpopulated they have only the aboriginals permited to kill and hunt them. There are a lot of aboriginals in kuruanda and the kangaroo fur merchandise are made by the aboriginals.

 

        As I said kuruanda is a tropical rainforest so our next stop was the Lookout of Barron Falls. You have to walk a short trail to get to the lookout. good thing it was day time when we get there because it would really be creepy to walk in the jungle at night. It was a short walk close to nature. I wasnt able to bring my long lense but i attempted to get a shot of the falls. The short walk to the lookout was worth it though i wasnt able to get to the lower level closer to the falls because it was really a long walk.

    

        On the way home there was a really nice view of the city so we pulled over that side of the highway so we could take a photo of the good view of the city. Plus the strong winds its such a relaxing view.

        As for What I wore: Leopard Printed top from Cotton On, Peach skirt from Forever21, Feather necklace from Bedazzle Accesories, Slippers from Payless Shoes, White Blazer from Mom. Its still cold even if it was a tropical state i still like this kind of weather.
