Welcome to Cairns, where the pace slows down, the water warms up, and your biggest challenge is choosing between coral reef or rainforest.

In this episode of How Far Will You Travel: Australia, host Grant Stevens takes you from the laid-back Cairns Esplanade to the outer reaches of the Great Barrier Reef, - one of the planet’s most spectacular ecosystems.

But the adventure doesn’t stop at sea. Take the Skyrail into the ancient Daintree Rainforest, where you might not see a cassowary, but you’ll definitely hear it! Ride the Kuranda Scenic Railway, cuddle a koala, and end your day in Cape Tribulation where two World Heritage Sites meet.

Recorded on location and rich in immersive sound, this episode is literally a deep dive into one of Australia’s most unforgettable regions.
