Cairns
Captain James Cook sailed up the North
Queensland coast on his first Voyage of Discovery in June 1770, aboard
his ship the HM Bark Endeavour. Captain Cook was the first known
European to visit the site where today City of Cairns is located.
Cairns attractions rank as some of the most original and exciting in
Australia. Golden sunny beaches flanked by pristine rainforest and the
Great Barrier Reef make Cairns a region that literally has it all!
Snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef, white water rafting down a raging
river, sailing to tropical islands, browsing for crafts at country town
markets, skydiving from 14000 feet, fishing for barramundi, enjoying
tropical rainforest tours.
After you've snorkelled on the Great Barrier Reef, hurtled off a bungy
jumping tower and thrashed your way down a raging river, you still have
another wild Cairns activity that you can't miss. Night clubs. That's
right, you can't go to bed yet because the Cairns night scene is
enticing you towards a night of dancing and fun followed by a crushing
hangover. It's the perfect way to end a day…and start another.
Dining in Cairns is unique because we have access to outstanding fresh
local produce (especially seafood), and also because the thriving
tourism industry attracts world-renowned chefs to the region. Whether
you’re looking for Japanese, Chinese, Indian, vegetarian or seafood,
Tropical North Queensland has a restaurant that is ideal for you.
Cairns has a large range of shopping available. The CBD hosts everything
from small souvenir type shops to large shopping arcades and everything
in between. Most of the well known international brand name items can be
found in the City, normally in the shopping complexes or arcades. There
are plenty of bargains to be found, it is simply a matter of spending
some time exploring the city to find exactly the items that you are
looking for. There are a lot of souvenir type shops, opal shops and
aboriginal shops. These items are all popular with visitors to Cairns.
We provide a wide selection of properties - budget, business, tourist,
luxury, bed and breakfasts and apartments accommodation to suit your
every needs.
