Great playground with plenty of activities and water fun. Lovely and shady. Well worth a visit. Bring swimmers and towel.

Great Cafe on Cairns Promenade with views over the waterfront. Very busy on a Sunday morning. Had their Big Brekky $21.50. A big feed which I was not able to finish. Very friendly staff and food came out quick despite them being so busy! Great coffee too. Also had a tropical fruit mix juice. Very tasty.

Great cafe which seems quite popular with locals and tourists. Muddy's is in a great location overlooking the Cairns waterfront and next to several amenities (kids water play areas) that would appeal to families. I didn't have any food but I saw other people's food and it looked appealing but obviously I can comment on the flavour. Instead, I had a freshly squeezed fruit juice. Was tasty but could have had more ice as it wasn't very cold.
