I was taking a rest at my room, waiting for breakfasting (it was the last day of Ramadhan 2012) when my house-mate called me in a late Saturday afternoon. He informed me that in coming minutes, Cairns Festival will be started in the Esplanade Beach near to Cairns City Mall, only 15 minutes from my house by bike. In no time, I went online from my room just to check what was the event about, what to see there and what should I bring. This is one of best things in a developed country such as Australia, everything is on the webs.
I was excited when I knew that there will be a big fireworks in the beach in the evening, So, I prepared my Camera, tripod and other stuffs, this what I was waiting for so long!!!
Cains Festival is an annual event that has been held since 1967 as the Cairns Tourist Festival in order to attract more tourist to visit Cairns. It draws thousands of people every year to enjoy the seaside city.

I almost there when I saw crowded people on the road banks, they were watching a long parade. It seemed that the festival already begun. I pushed my bike harder to get there as soon as possible. As a arrived, I put my bike and chained it on the roadside together with other bikes.
