On Monday last week my friend flew in from Adelaide. After some strenuous months at the office he was eager to get out and see some of nature’s wonders. On our schedule were the rainforest, waterfalls and of course the Great Barrier Reef. We got a car Tuesday afternoon and went to see Crystal Cascades, a small gorge just 20 minutes outside of Cairns. With its rainforest vegetation and boulder filled creek it reminded me of Mossman Gorge.
