We have compiled a list of 10 Things to do around Cairns on a Road Trip. From exploring the Waterfall Circuit in the Tablelands to finding the best spots for "Tropical Chaos" and Rainforest Raves, this guide covers the essentials.
2. Crocs and Stingers
Safety first: From November to May, box jellyfish (stingers) are in the ocean. Swim only in nets or wear a stinger suit. Also, be "Crocwise". Never swim in creeks or rivers unless there is a clear sign saying it's safe. When in doubt, stick to the waterfalls!
