Red Arrow Circuit Lookout
Scenic spot
πŸ‘πŸ‘ I have been living in Cairns for months now and ran up this track so many times. The lookout towards the airport is my favorite location in Cairns. I recommend to hike either red or yellow arrow track up and the other one down. Will take approximately 45 minutes.
