A little Cairns exploring while in town 🌴☀️

It was great to have @hawthornaflw back in Cairns for their Round 6 clash against North Melbourne at @cazalyscairns 

While they were here, Emily Everist and Laura Stone had the chance to get out and experience a little of Cairns, with a splash in the Lagoon, a bite at @salthousecairns and a visit to the @cairns_aquarium 

Congratulations to the Hawks AFLW on the win over North Melbourne, ending their incredible 32-game winning streak.

Always great to have the Hawthorn AFLW in Cairns. 🤎💛
