Ive been sailing up to Cairns for the last 5 years just to be in the trade winds and the warm winter weather then bravely running away south for the cyclone season around December.
Being a wind junkie i have a passion for hanggliding and yesterday had an awesome flight from our launch site north of Cairns to a paddock just south of the Daintree river. Reaching over 4000 ft on thermals up into the clouds above the town of Mosman and trying to take in the spectacular view of the rainforest and reef and of crocodiles below in the Mowbray river.
Not really a sailing post but i felt like sharing the stoke!

This is a small clip of flying in the area, Landing at four mile beach Port Douglas amongst the kitesurfers.
