For the next installment of my holiday pictures I will be showcasing the resort I stayed at whilst in Cairns. The Lakes Resort was built in 2005 and is located in a convenient location just a short walk away from the airport. For more details on The Lakes please visit http://www.thelakescairns.com.au/index.php (http://www.thelakescairns.com.au/index.php)

and finally a view of the veranda.
Next up will be some pics of Green Island..........next weekend
Looks quite nice.
Just gotta say, it looks like the setting of one of those murder mystery shows from the 90's with an older witty detective always solving the case with nail biting endings. Niiiiice!
