There’s no place we’d rather be than soaking up some vitamin D beneath the palms at sunny #EllisBeach ☀️🌴 Wedged neatly between the Coral Sea & the @wettropicsworldheritage area lies the secluded #EllisBeach, just five minutes north of #PalmCove along the Captain Cook Highway 🐚🚙 Spend a day lazing on this stretch of soft sand or set up camp & catch the golden morning skies 🌅 ​ ​📸 @ashleydobson #exploreTNQ #explorecairnsGBR #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia

When it comes to hidden gems 💎 @tropicalnorthqueensland is full of them & this one is just out of #Cairns 🌴🦋 Tucked away in the @wettropicsworldheritage rainforest, #BabindaBoulders is one stop not to be missed 💚 This lush location is more than just a pretty picture, here you’ll find the site of great significance for the local Aboriginal communities 👣🌿 The Dreaming legend tells the story of star-crossed lovers, Oolana & Dyga, who fled their tribes to be together 💘 They were discovered at Babinda Boulders & captured. Oolana managed to escape, but her lover did not & her anguish turned the still waters into rushing rapids 💦 The story goes that her spirit still guards the boulders, calling for her lost love in the area now known as the Devil’s Pool 🌺 ​ ​📸 @hikes.drinks.laughs #exploreTNQ #explorecairnsGBR #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia

Nestled between two headlands is the favoured local hangout, #TrinityBeach 🌴☀️ Beach almonds dotted between coconut trees provide shady hangouts to lounge on the sand between swims 🐚✨ This picturesque beach is perfect for active travellers with walking tracks along& chill out under the palms, or try the more challenging 1km steep climb to the summit of Earl Hill 🥾🌿 ​ ​📸 @coccinelli__ #exploreTNQ #explorecairnsGBR #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia
