Am wondering if I should drop the idea of going to Cairns and instead make a day trip to Canberra and a sort of day trip to Melbourne (which would be hectic)

I live in Canberra. It’s ok, there’s lots of museums etc many of them free. But it’s not a world class tourist attraction by any stretch

ETA: it’s a 3 hour drive or a fairly expensive 1 hour flight from Sydney to Canberra.
