As part of a longer trip (4 weeks) with 2DCs aged 5 & 2 DH and I have 10 days up around Cairns / Port Douglas next April. We definitely want to stay in Port Douglas for around 4 days or so as have friends there but then i'm wondering:
- Should we stay in Port Douglas the whole time and just take day trips for ease, if so what should we do / go to?
- Should we head up or down the coast and base ourselves somewhere else for a few days to see the sights? Again if so where would make an interesting stop for us and the kids?
This is the last bot of the trip and we will be staying in a holiday home with friends in Port Douglas which is v low cost so can spend a bit more and go to a nice resort (thinking / wishing for kids club maybe) or just not do that.
We like beaches, wildlife, boat trips, rainforest, anything really but my only slight concern is how long the just 2yr old will want to walk for. She is a good walker but i guess buggy friendly might be best or we can take her in the backpack a bit if she still fits! By this point in the trip we will have had a week of beach time on the Gold Coast so may be up for seeing some other things!
Any recommendations / suggestions would be welcome.
