It's great to see my home through the eyes of another. I've been getting a bit jaded of late and seeing this is inspiration for me to get out and start photography again. I'm really enjoying seeing Cairns through your eyes and getting your perspective on it.
Hi there just wondering n I no it's a massive long shot but by any chance do U no a lady called Dennis Rose or her daughter's plz. Just wondering as she lives in Cain's too .. thank you
@@davechristian7543 Hi, no I don't know anyone of that name. Sorry ;-)
I hope you make time for Tasmania. It is a stunning, highly underrated state frequently missed by overseas tourists.
Wonderful video Gabriel! I was fortunate enough to take four 3-week trips to Australia. For each trip...I rented a small camper van, traveling from National Park to National Park. It proved to be quite economical to have my transportation and lodging combined into one. I feel that is the best way to see Australia "outside the cities". Have a great trip!
Travelling Australia outside major cities its much cheaper, and you see the real Australia !
Hope you can get to the Daintree Rainforest, you will see Cassowaries on the beach!
For anyone scared of crocs , on the East coast below Rockhampton it’s not a problem. For example no crocs in the Sunshine Coast, Gold Coast , all of NSW and Victoria
Just sharks down that way 😅
You won't get crocs up there in that area you were walking near the waterfall you'll see the crocodile signs around the estuaries, beaches, swampy areas and rivers mostly. I personally wouldn't swim in any of the beaches in Far North Queensland the beaches are not crowded for a reason 😂 Snakes on the ground if you're lucky (or unlucky!). The sound of the insect you can hear as you're walking are made by Cicadas. Nice video I miss Cairns ❤
Are cicadas year round up in Queensland
You need to get to the Daintree for Cassowaries, is an epic rain forrest, the oldest and predates the Amazon anything from 10-50 millions. There is jungle there that looks like it's from another planet.and you wont usually see Crocs, if you do it will be too late to enjoy the view.
😂
Definitely one of the must see iconic places to experience 👌
😂
Without any markers and tables, I wouldn't have thought that something like this can be found in Australia but this continent is surely full of surprises. Nice video, nice adventure and nice drive.
If you look on a map the north is in southeast Asia
Thanks for showing a Sydney girl this part of my country. I love your perspective as a first time visitor to Australia. I haven’t been that far north it’s too hot and humid for me, but I can see it’s a beautiful tropical rainforest (not technically a jungle) with gorgeous trails and waterfalls. I’m sure there is plenty of wildlife in that forest hiding away from the sight seeers. We see a lot of wildlife in our suburban Sydney backyard with lorikeets, rosellas, king parrots, kookaburras, magpies and cockatoos all quite common and often landing on our back deck for a chat. We had a tree goanna wandering around our garden a couple of weeks ago. We often see blue tongues lizards and we had a eastern water dragon living in our backyard, swimming in our pool and eating stink bugs off our lemon tree for a few years until it went off to find a mate. No crocodiles of course :)
These little towns always have a good Bakery. Get a pie and chocolate milk. The cornerstone of any nutritious breakfast.
Loving the Australia series - it looks spectacular ❤
Fantastic adventures in epic landscapes, thanks Gabe!
Really fantastic video. Cairns and surrounding area is lovely. Love all those swimming places and waterfall in the jungle.
Another beautiful hike to add to your adventure. Can't wait to get to Australia!
Think you for sharing your travels. It helps me to see parts of the world I will probably never see. I love how you show us the areas that are not your usual tourist sites.
Wow! Beautiful nature lush and green..
Wow ! Another wonderful day in the life of your magical memories tour Mr Traveler . Congratulations on a spectacular video ... We the viewers are the lucky ones ! Good on you .
Yet another great video. Enjoying your travels in Australia.
I was lucky enough to travel to Cairns when I was a kid. I remember swimming in one of those swimming holes. So refreshing! Amazingly, prehistoric looking foliage they have there, too. Not to mention the animals.
Thanks for the day mate. Be on the lookout for spiders, snakes, crocs cassawaries and other very sneaky creatures tomorrow mate. I'd like you to see the Daintree rain forest while you are so close. 😊😊😊.
ie
Great video. Beautiful scenery.
The amazing world 🌎 of Gabriel the traveler. Go Gab.....
Beautiful place.
Great stuff, love that you're showcasing this beautiful part of our state.
I love watching your videos. I love to travel. I remember watching you years ago and happy your channel is high rating. Keep up the good work on your adventure.
Beautiful wilderness
Beautiful video, you're a champ Gabriel 👍👍👍👍
Can't wait for the next video. Port Douglas is stunning.
Beautiful lush forests.
That really lit me up after all the soggy cold weather here in California which is unusual as you know! I am thankful for the rain though. Those pools of water looked soooo inviting! Thanks for the great video,
Beautiful and greenery land 🛣🤗The Josephine falls looks amazing 😁👍Nice video 👏Thanks for sharing and keep it up for the great work 😁✌
Josephine Falls has been on my list to slide for a long time
You could check out Etty bay and the very large Cassowaries that are just milling about there
Yes, it's the prettiest little Cove I've ever seen. Even swam there once, but only after seeing numerous people in the water and since no one was screaming we took the risk....the following day the park rangers put the netting back in place and said a crocodile had been spotted there the week beforehand lol!
So beautiful! I hope one day to visit those places.
Beautiful
A great vid Gabe, really enjoying the Oz trip! 🐊🐊🐊
Nice video, I love Cairns and Trinity Beach.
Driving Northern Queensland is fantastic exploring
I have family in the Port Douglas area. Enjoy!
your work is incredible
The thumbnails are amazing! Yes, I've noticed the change! This area of Australia looks stunning.
I agree, but the problem is monkeys and toucans are not available in the wild in Australia 😮
Wow, lived here all my life and never been to any of those spots! Thanks Gabe, great way to see Oz! 😊
What a scenic part of Australia. Great decision to come here Gabe
Oh my god am loving Australia, you are so lucky
A blessed good day sir Gabe, thanks for your Excellent Wonderful Walk around drive Tour and Walk around video in Tropical Beautiful Paradise in Australia, stay safe Godbless from the Philippines 🇵🇭 sir Marvin 😍♥️🙏🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Great video! 😊☀️
You just summed up driving on the left/right and manual/auto perfectly , safe travels Gabriel , beware the salty crocs
Thoroughly enjoying the Australian series.
Excellent. 👍
So many great places to visit in Cairns. My sister took me rock climbing at Crystal Cascades once. She knew where this secluded water hole was. I remember jumping in the icy water and coming out feeling really CLEAN and refreshed. It was awesome wish I could go back there again. Without the rock climbing this time 😂
Hi Gabriel, another enjoyable day of exploring you got to see some nice parks. I could imagine the summer, it must get hot and crowded there but overall, something to see and experience. The Queensland area has many of the wondrous areas around Australia. The state contains six World Heritage-listed preservation areas: the Great Barrier Reef along the Coral Sea coast, (Fraser Island) on the Wide Bay-Burnett region's coastline, the wet tropics in Far North Queensland including the Daintree Rainforest, Lamington National Park in Southeast Queensland, the Riversleigh fossil sites in Northwest Queensland, and the Gondwana Rainforests in Southeast Queensland.
Go to far North Queensland in autumn or winter, April to October. Too hot and humid other time and can have monsoon rain.
Great series on Australia Gabe!
No trip to Cairns is complete without a trip on the Kuranda train and cable car as well as Daintree Rainforest.
Fantastic. You have to go back to Australia Gabriel and make lots more videos.😲👍😊🇮🇪🇦🇺🦘🐨
Great video Gabe! Very cool waterfall too. Thanks for sharing! :)
As usual, great content. I always feel like I know a place much better after one of your travel videos than most of the other videos on TH-cam. I hope you stumbled upon Bill Bryson's "In a Sunburned Country" about his trip to Australia before going. The audio version is particularly hilarious.
Man, I am so jealous. So beautiful. I can't even imagine being able to leave your stuff and still have it be there when you get back from your swim. Bizarre but gives me hope
Love the Midwest analogy! Similar plains yet way more lush and kush
The midwest doesn't grow sugar cane and bananas. 🤣
Really nice video Gabe
Love your shirt Big Gabe 😊
What a tourist attraction The Great Barrier Reef!
Hi Gab,The best crocodile tours run out of Daintree village on the Daintree river,plenty of them in the wild,cheers Pete.
Daintree village is also a bird watchers paradise,some really cool Kingfishers!
Great video, Gab
Just a heads up. Careful holding your phone while driving in Australia. Big fines......👍
I think he has a camera and not a phone, but you are correct, touching your phone while driving is a HUGE fine
Just tried to find out if you can use a camera while driving and I think I would be very careful, distraction fines for a mobile phone usage could apply $1078
I agree, it’s not a good idea. He should have used a go pro and attached it to the car window
its great that you are over your jet lag. Most Aussies get up early, so you miss out on a lot if you are not up and about.
My anxiety really is kicking in this video Gabe with those jungle trails and that last murky water beach. You are brave :)
You are not alone. My anxiety will full throttle with the croc-talk and the snakes, and even driving the car.
A Bear 🐻 can eat him in one second
@@Metaobserver what bears? 😐
There were heaps of 12 year old kids walking around the jungle trails and swimming in the river none of them looked scared
@@johnschannel449 a few minutes on TripAdvisor reading about the tourist terrors of seeing a St Andrews Cross spider is all one needs for a good laugh.
I remember the old manual cars of the 80s and 90s! Watch out for them crocodiles 🐊 ! You’re a great driver brother!
Can’t believe Hartley’s still going , went there in the 70’s !
Awesome video
Make sure you check at palm cove safe swimming beach bay it’s beautiful as four mile beach can be rough in port Douglas
It a nice place,Good work🦘🦘🦘
For roos in the wild, you would have to head back south to Batemans Bay hwere they are all over the beaches in the early and later parts of the day. Even the birds etc aren't really their loudest until dusk or dawn.
Great video🚶♥️✅🇮🇩
Nice tour in Australia 🙋
It's easy get confused in a roundabout. I once went the wrong way in London.
I use SixT as well, they are quite good.
Thanks gabriel, loving your Australia adventures ❤ Englishman
I think that was Mt Bartle frere at 18:32 (highest mountain in Queensland)
It looks like you really enjoyed this little Adventurer up to Cairns Australia.
The weather is nice and warm up there this time of year, unlike Sydney and Melbourne.

😂
I love my country!!!
Me too 😄
cairns looks gorgeous. great vid one of ur best recent ones. cheers.
Crazy to me watching your videos for years and you are now in a city I used to live in
I'm really glad you're doing this series Gabe, I've always wanted to go to Oz but it's so expensive and so far from the UK. Good to see it through your lens
It’s no more expensive than the uk
@@Glenn-ei3xp I mean the travel there, looking at a grand just for the return flights. And I don't holiday in the UK too much, I can go to other parts of Europe, Asia etc and it's much cheaper than UK or Oz
@@no_soy_rubio Get a better job perhaps?
@@JC-lu4se I've got a great job that pays well and lets me travel a dozen times per year. But if I can go to Asia in half the time and for half the cost of Oz then that's why I'd choose to go there. Probably why Gabriel took so long to go too. I get your comment was meant to be derogatory, maybe you've had a bad day, or a bad life? Maybe you should work on that 😁
Gabriel love your new look thumbnail very professnal , great video 😀
Great videos mate! Come to Adelaide, South Australia! Lots of fantastic beaches and hiking.
and no crocs
Not sure how long you're in Cairns for, but you should do the train up to Kuranda and catch the sky-way back, could probably throw in Port Douglas and Cape Tribulation as well if time permits. Also, Australia has some of the most diverse food culture anywhere in the world, do yourself a favour and stop eating Hamburger!!!!!
Sky train to Kuranda is definitely worth it.
Gabriel, Thank you for the hike around in the lush jungle , and around the water holes . Wonder if there is a rule of thumb where if you can hear kids squealing and adults laughing , water splashing , clear water , there will be no crocs . Or would crocs be interested in the fast moving water around the water falls ? Even if no sign seems a bit scary !
In the Southern USA, where there is water, even in a golf course pond , there is probably a gator . Dark water rivers , with all the tanin , there will for sure be gators .
You never disappoint . Thanks for a pleasant walk about !
Love the tunes man! Excellent!
All the songs in this video are by Tatono, good stuff.
@@GabrielTravelerVideos I love electronic music. Thank you very much for the new leads on new stuff! Very valuable! 🙏
I drove a manual car 🚘 in Slovenia 🇸🇮 where they drive on the right. As a British person from the U.K. 🇬🇧, we drive on the left. In the U.K., I drive a manual car, so when driving in Slovenia, it took only 10 minutes getting used to the right lane driving. The only issue I found there was that there was a lot of steep hill driving, which I was not used to, as a person coming from south east England, where steep roads are not that common.
Please try to see Whitehaven beach it’s a must and fly over the reef the great barrier you can see it in a shape of a heart it’s out of this world
Really enjoying the content. I would not have gone swimming at that beach either, especially whilst there on your own. 🐊 Enjoy Port Douglas and the zoo.
Kuranda Koala Gardens if you have time to go its amazing we loved it
Good morning from Arizona
Interesting content, keep it up friend, greetings from Malaysia🇲🇾
Sweet
Not far from there the Atherton Tablelands beautiful part of Australia with more waterfalls rainforests and fruit, vegetable and dairy farms..
🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸. *ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT!* *From now on I will be thinking Gabriel Morris instead of Matthew McConaughey every time I hear those words!* 👍🤣
It's actually a Jim Morrison expression. I got it from the Doors album An American Prayer. So I just searched and it turns out that's where McConaughey got it from when he said it in the movie Dazed and Confused: th-cam.com/video/O0BduqxmEqA/w-d-xo.html
@@GabrielTravelerVideos 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸*Cool! That’s good to know.* *Thanks!*
Thanks for the video of my home town. Always nice to see it through the eyes of someone else. Only problem, a Toucan and Monkey for the thumbnail!? Surely a Cassowary and a salt water croc!!
Because you rented a Skoda, the blinker would have been on the same side you are used to. If you rented a Japanese or Korean brand the blinker would be on the right (the correct side for RHD vehicles). Please note the exception is some Subarus have the blinker on the left because they are built in Europe rather than Asia. It is standard in the UK for the blinker to be on the left, so in European factories they do not switch them for RHD builds. A small number of Subarus for the Aussie market are built in these European factories. All other Japanese and Korean cars are built for the Aussie market in Asia where RHD builds always have the blinker on the right.
cool
