A Seachange for the Environment
Monday, January 7th, 2008After living in Sydney (Australia) for many years, I decided to do the big “sea change” and move to a smaller, more relaxed town (well “city” actually).
I got in my car and drove around 3,000 kilometers north to a relatively small city called Cairns. Cairns is a coastal city with a huge tourism trade. Much of the tourism centers around natural attractions such as the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest.
My drive north took just over a week. It’s possible to do the trip in about 3 days but I wanted to take my time. Some people take weeks, but I had a car full of belongings so I decided not to take too much time. A week gave me a good feel for many of the beautiful places along the way and I got some nice photos out of it too!
I’ve now been in Cairns for around 5 months and I love it! I can cycle most places I need to go and there are plenty of natural attractions to take advantage of. So far, this seachange has been perfect!
