Cairns Australia is
the heart of Tropical North Queensland and is the
primary gateway to Northern Australia. Cairns looks a
picture, framed by the spectacular twin backdrops of
rainforest mountain ranges and the sparkling Coral Sea.
Cairns is a modern, sophisticated city, and is an ideal
base to explore the wider Tropical North Queensland
region with front door access to World Heritage listed
Reef, Rainforest and Outback.
The Cairns International Airport is located only several
minutes drive north of the city centre. The city itself
is where much of the accommodation is situated close to
international standard, restaurants, boutique shopping,
modern art galleries and evening entertainment.
All the attributes of a world class modern city are to
be found in Cairns: International air access, rail
systems, high-standard accommodation facilities, an art
gallery, botanic gardens, university, a casino and a
convention centre.
Almost a century of architecture is reflected in the
city streets - a comfortable blend of traditional
Queenslander style and modern designs. Modern buildings
grace the cityscape with a mixture of architectural
designs including the Reef Hotel Casino, Cairns
International Hotel and the Cairns Convention Centre.
A focal point for the city is the Cairns Esplanade.
Almost two kilometres of landscaped parkland fringes a
busy thoroughfare and restaurant strip on one side, and
a natural harbour inlet on the other. Each year,
thousands of visitors flock to the Esplanade to relax on
the grass, eat at sidewalk cafes, meet new people, to
walk under the trees, and to watch the many bird species
which come to feed on the tidal zone.
