Queensland Here We Come!

Here I sit, listening to a spot of Morrissey on a rainy Saturday afternoon (hence the blog title trivia-spotters) and contemplating sojourns in sunnier climes.  After our trip to Fiji last year, and possibly also still feeling hemisphere-disorientation, we're keen to soak up a bit more winter sun this year. But where to go?  I wanted to go to Australia, where Dan has never been, but the obvious southern attractions - Sydney, Melbourne, Adelaide etc - are pretty wintry too. Answer: sunny Queensland!  I've been to Brisbane before, but not since I was small.  My abiding memory of it is wasps trying to drink mine and Michael's orange drink and having to abandon it, possibly at Lone Pine or some other animal park kind of place. Not that we have actually booked anything yet, but we're keen to fly to Cairns and head further north to Port Douglas and check out the beaches, rainforest and reef.  Anyone got any fab suggestions of what to check out in this neck of the woods?
