Cairns

Cairns is the gateway to Tropical North Queensland. The Cairns Northern Beaches, Port Douglas and The Daintree Rainforest are to the north while the Atherton Tablelands are to the west surrounded by rainforests. South of Cairns you will find mountainous countryside with cane fields. And looking to the east lies the magnificent Great Barrier Reef - past the calm water of Trinity Bay and beyond to the Coral Sea. All travel to Far North Queensland is directed through Cairns and it has now become Australia's 16th largest city.

Activities

Some of the main activities in Cairns involve the many small theme parks - observing and interacting with nature and the animals. The Skyrail Rainforest Cableway is a great way to see the tropics, perched high up in a cable car you can view the entire region. There are several places to see koalas, kangaroos, snakes and crocodiles and interact with local aborigines and their ancient traditions. Be sure not to miss the simple luxury of nearby Palm Cove accommodation and the stylish sophistication of Port Douglas accommodation. Holiday cruises also frequent the area, stopping at many beautiful Islands and beaches up and down the coast and on the Great Barrier Reef.

Cairns holidays would not be complete with out a trip down the Esplanade. In warm weather locals and tourists alike use the Cairns Esplanade Lagoon. It is a massive pool in the shape of Queensland with water fountains, shallow areas and life guards patrolling during the day. At night the Cairns Esplanade comes alive with hundreds of people coming out from their hotels to dine at the restaurants and eateries that abound in this area.
