Cairns and Green Island




Green island is a 45 minute boat ride from Cairns. There we explored the coral island on a semi-submarine and glass bottom boat. We saw all types of coral and fish.

The day concluded with a trip to Tjapukai. There we learned more about native culture. First, we learned more about the didgeridoo. It takes anywhere from 30 to 40 hours to make. Also, we learned the history of the boomerang. Next, we were involved in a ceremony to create fire. The night concluded with an international buffet and native dancing.

We were able to see many amazing things while we were in Cairnes. We were on the go all of the time. Friday we headed for Sydney.
