Cairns City is a laid-back, yet
cosmopolitan-style escape, offering access
to the Great Barrier Reef, a taste of
Aboriginal Culture, shopping, gourmet
cuisine, casino and a range of adventures.
The palm tree-studded Esplanade overlooking
Trinity Harbour simply bustles with activity
and the quality of restaurants and cafes is
amazing. You will find everything from 5
star gourmet cuisine to bistros, wine bars
and seafood restaurants.
Shoppers should head for the new Cairns
Central complex and the Pier 1 shopper’s
heaven providing a range of international
and local wares.
Rusty’s market on Grafton street is a blaze
of colour and activity. You’ll like mangoes,
jack fruit, black sapotes as well as local
coffee, tea and herbs.
Top of the list for culture lovers should be
Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park, then
Cairns Regional Art Gallery, arguably the
country’s finest regional gallery .with new
exhibitions continually as well as its own
collection of Aboriginal and Australian
artists.
Skyrail is a must experience. Gliding in a
gondola just metres above the rainforest and
over the spectacular Barron Gorge.
With hundreds of
tours
operating every day
you will not run out of things to do. White
water rafting, the bungee jump plunge,
snorkelling, diving…the list goes on.
The drive from Cairns to
Port Douglas
affords some of the best coastal scenery in
Australia. En route you will discover
Cairn’s idyllic Northern Beaches, 26km of
smooth ocean lapping at golden sand
beginning just North of Cairns city limits.
Sheltered by the
Great Barrier Reef, the
northern beaches are ideal to recline and
relax if you choose, they are also an
aquatic playground for water sports and fun.
Drive to Yorkey’s Knob, Trinity Beach, Palm
Cove or Ellis Beach to enjoy the colourful
galleries, boutique shops, golf courses, a
leisurely lunch or just a cold beer
overlooking the beautiful vista of the Coral
Sea.
