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. Below Cairns you will find mountainous countryside with beautiful crater lakes and waterfalls. 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.
Cairns Accommodation - Book your holiday in the tropics now. Cairns tourism has a major part in the local economy. Cairns is in the top 5 destinations for international visitors to Australia due to its ideal location right on the reef and close proximity to Mission Beach, Palm Cove and Port Douglas.
Cairns Beaches Accommodation - Book accommodation at Trinity Beach, Kewarra Beach and Yorkeys Knob. There is a wide range of Cairns Beaches accommodation in the areas north of the city. Travellers can find luxury resorts all the way to Port Douglas and beyond.
Some of the main attractions in Cairns are the many small theme parks - observing and interacting with nature and the animals. Kuranda Skyrail 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.
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.
