Queensland’s premier non-capital city, Cairns is the world’s front door to Tropical North Queensland. It is an exciting cosmopolitan destination with warm, sunny tropical days balanced by cooling onshore breezes. Enjoy a stroll along the famous Esplanade or satisfy your lust for food in one of Cairns’ many multi-cultural, diverse and award-winning eateries.
Cairns provides access to the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforests along with the Australian Outback. Cairns, with its international and domestic airport, is the first stop for most visitors who want to see the authentic Australia.
Bask on the sandy beaches, snorkel on the reef and experience the unique tropical rainforests that date back to when the continent was part of ancient Gondwanaland, thousands of years ago.
Venture a swim in the ultra-modern Cairns Esplanade lagoon, then look across the serene waters of Trinity Inlet and you will see coastal ranges and mangrove areas that have not changed since the site was branded by Captain James Cook in 1770.
The beautiful Esplanade Lagoon is the perfect place to spend a lazy day soaking up the sun and wading in the lagoon’s cool and seductive water. There are many shaded spots to take refuge from the sun in the heat of the day, as well as barbeque facilities. The boardwalk has unique displays of Cairns’s local history and has many exercise facilities for those keen on getting a bit of exercise.
Cairns is extremely well suited to travel on foot, or travel by bicycle. Well frequented routes and dedicated walking paths are abundant. A tour of the Cairns Botanical Gardens is not to be missed. It boasts 38 hectares of natural Australian gardens which are maintained to lush standards, and many species found here cannot be seen elsewhere. Located among the fauna is a coffee shop and restaurant, which is open every day for breakfast and lunch. Admission to the gardens is free.
