I’ve got a trip to Australia coming up in September and looking for advice. I’ll be there for 2 weeks - planning on doing roughly a week in Melbourne, 4 days in Cairns, and 3 days in Sydney. Not sure if that’s gonna be stretching myself too thin though? I’m staying with a friend in Melbourne and there’s plenty of guides to Sydney online, so I’m most curious about Cairns. I started looking at Hotels, and the Hilton caught my eye just because it looked affordable, nice enough, and I have status with them. But it looks like it’s in downtown Cairns, while the beaches are all further to the north. Seems like it would be a problem? That brings me to my next issue - I’m not planning on renting a car in Melbourne or Sydney because it seems like my friend and public transport will be enough. Should I rent one in Cairns? I’m uhhh…nervous to say the least about driving on the left so I was trying to avoid it. But if it’s gonna negatively affect my time there I’ll look into it further. Also - regarding Cairns - my friends recommended Cairns and Port Douglas and I just landed on Cairns because it was the first one I searched for. Is there a noticeable difference, or are they just two beach towns near the reef? Would anyone recommend one over the other? I probably have more questions, but I’ll leave it there for now, those were the big ones!

Thanks for the tips! After a little more investigation, it sounds like Port Douglas is more our speed, so we’re gonna look to stay there. Unfortunately , that probably means renting a car while we’re in this area, so I’d better get over my anxiety about driving on the left real quick
