Australia’s premier regional city, Cairns is the international front door to Tropical North Queensland. It is an exciting cosmopolitan place with warm, sunny tropical days contrasted by cooling onshore breezes. Enjoy a stroll along the famous Esplanade or satisfy your lust for food in one of the city’s many multi-cultural, diverse and award-winning restaurants.
Cairns grants 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 real Australia.
Relax on the tropical beaches, dive on the reef and experience the unique tropical rainforests that date back to when the continent was part of ancient Gondwanaland, many thousands of eons ago.
Take a swim in the ultra-modern Cairns Esplanade lagoon, then cast your eyes across the calm waters of Trinity Inlet and you will discover coastal mountains and mangrove habitats that have changed little since the site was named by Captain James Cook in 1770.
The beautiful Esplanade Lagoon is the perfect place to spend a sultry day soaking up the sun and dipping in the lagoon’s cool and seductive water. There are many shady spots to escape 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 walking, or travel by bicycle. Well trodden routes and dedicated walking tracks are abundant or a visit to the Cairns Botanical Gardens is not to be missed. 38 hectares of native Australian gardens are maintained to big city botanical garden standards, and many species found here cannot be seen elsewhere. Located among the plants is a coffee shop and restaurant, it is open every day for breakfast and lunch. Admission to the gardens is free.
