London mayor spotted on Qld holiday

English tourists were surprised to bump into Mayor of London Boris Johnson while on holiday in north Queensland.

London's mayor has been spotted holidaying in far north Queensland.

Surprised English tourists nabbed a photo of a relaxed looking Boris Johnson while visiting an indigenous cultural centre north of Cairns.

The Mossman Gorge Centre offers guided walks and runs a popular bus service to numerous swimming holes along the gorge.

The Hartley family from Blackpool said Mr Johnson was more than happy to pose for a photo.

"Surprise / pleasure to meet @MayorofLondon at Mossman Gorge Oz today," they Tweeted alongside a photo on Tuesday.

Staff at the centre said they hadn't seen the elusive mayor.

A spokeswoman from the Cairns Regional Council says staff weren't aware Cr Johnson was holidaying in the area.
