We hope every visitor to Cairns experiences the Great Barrier Reef and our Rainforest.
We will have a Tour Person at the WBC Registration Desk to help you choose and get your discount. Your local Travel Agent should carry some Cairns information. If you do not have access to the Internet and want a brochure just contact me and I will put one in snail mail.
The best way to see Cairns is with Cairns Discovery Tours in a small coach. City highlights, Flecker Botanic Gardens, Outback Opal Mine, Royal Flying Doctor Service, Scenic lookouts, Palm Cove, including afternoon tea. Highly recommended. They will pick you up at 12:45pm, return you at 6:30pm. $59pp, less for a group. http://www.cairnsdiscoverytours.com

The two tours you suggest sound great, however I do not find them listed on either of the three tour sites you suggested. Are the breakfast with the birds and Whyanbeel Arboreatum tours commercial tours that we may take during our stay in Cairns? e.g. we are judging and one of the tours is on that day. It is quite apparent we are going to have to do some serious planning to get everything we want to do in our schedule.
We have found Newmans South Pacific Vacations, http://www.newmansvacations.com that are designing an independent 3 week tour for us that allows us to be in Cairns for the week of the conference, if you know anything good or bad about them sure would like to hear it.
Thanks

Hi Jo Ann The 2 tours are prepared by us. Breakfast with the Birds is at http://www.rainforesthabitat.com.au There are commercial operators for this tour. Whyanbeel Arboretum is a private property. Sorry, I know nothing about Newmans. Lynn Hudson
