The sweet spot 〰️ ⁠ The weekend before last The sweet spot 〰️⁠The weekend before last I fully understood the meaning of 'stoked'🤙🏻! ⁠⁠Since the Sailor and I heard about Kite Surfari's playground up past Cooktown, we've been uber keen to visit. It's a shallow, flatwater heaven where the wind doesn't seem to stop blowing in season. Now we've finally edged towards being independent riders, we took a trip up there for the Sailor's birthday and it was epic.⁠⁠I can't actually remember the last time we had so much fun. In just 3 days we made a lot of progress and you literally couldn't wipe the grin off our faces. Hard leaving this place for sure.⁠⁠.⁠⁠@australiankitesurfari #kiteboarding #kitesurfing #kitetravel #kitegirl #poweredbythewind #kitebeach #secretkitespot #cooktown #elimbeach #australia #kitesurfingaustralia #exploretnq #travelmermaid 🧜🏼‍♀️ #travel_mermaid

Party in paradise 🥳 🌴⁠ ⁠ An awesome week Party in paradise 🥳 🌴⁠⁠An awesome weekend of fun, laughs and razzle dazzle at Port Douglas Carnivale. ⁠⁠Really impressed with how well the event was organised and glad we experienced our first one after 3 years here. It was cancelled last year due to Covid but the turnout this year was phenominal, never seen Port so busy! ⁠⁠Loved the parade and Reuben Kaye's brazen and entertaining Popcorn Underground cabaret show. Don't think I can look at popcorn in the same way 😁🍿⁠⁠Highly recommend if you're about in 2021.⁠ ⁠⁠#bringerofvibes #portdouglas #⁠portdouglascarnivale #popcornunderground #exploretnq #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #portdouglasdaintree

Meet Big Mo 💦⁠ ⁠ Every fortnight we walk th Meet Big Mo 💦⁠⁠Every fortnight we walk the hiking trail that leads to this fall and see it peeking in the distance, but have never been there. ⁠⁠This is the closest waterfall to Port Douglas and to walk it from from the Mowbray end is 5 hours return and requires you to hike up a beast hill. So we took a shortcut!⁠⁠I've updated my Port Douglas hikes article with details about the easier 2 hour route (link in bio). I love this area of the Douglas Shire, Mowbray is so peaceful and goegeous. Definitely worth a detour into the valley.⁠⁠.⁠.⁠⁠#mowbrayvalley⁠ #mowbrayfalls #waterfall #portdouglas #exploretnq #queensland #hiking #hikeaustralia #queenslandcaptures #australia #portdouglasdaintree #thisismyparadise #mowbray #travelmermaid 🧜🏼‍♀️ #travel_mermaid

The rain's not over yet so it's the best time to g The rain's not over yet so it's the best time to get out and explore the waterfalls. 💦 And you don't even have to go far, this one is only a half hour drive from Cairns. Although some trails are pretty muddy atm, Clamshell Falls is just an easy pathway away..⁠.⁠⁠#clamshellfalls #behanagorge #wooroonoorannationalpark #worldheritage #qldparks #wettropics #waterfallchasing #queenslandcaptures #australia #tropicalnorthqueensland #cairns⁠ #travelmermaid 🧜🏼‍♀️ #travel_mermaid
