Charming coastal cities are scattered all around Queensland and Cairns is one of the very best. Even if you’ve never heard of it before, it will make you see Australia in a whole new light and you should consider checking it out for more reasons than one.
Great Barrier Reef Getaway
Cairns is best known for being a popular Great Barrier Reef getaway. If you want to check out one of the seven natural wonders of the world while in Australia, this charming town is a good place to start.
Daintree Rainforest Getaway
Cairns is also located in close proximity to the Daintree National Park and tourists often use it as a starting point when visiting Queensland’s tropical rainforest.
Tropical Beauty
You don’t even have to reach the rainforest to be impressed by Cairns’ natural beauty because its tropical beaches are top of the line, especially the ones at Fitzroy Island.
Scenic Railway
If you can’t resist a good train ride, consider visiting Cairns by hopping on the Kuranda Scenic Railway which connects the city with Kuranda and offers some pretty breathtaking views.
Breathtaking Cableway
Speaking of breathtaking views, the ride to Kuranda is incomplete if you don’t hop on Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, offering rides in enclosed gondolas overlooking the scenic rainforest.
