Cairns City is the heart of Tropical North Queensland and is the primary gateway to Northern Australia. The city itself is a hub for travelers looking to surf, hike, fish, dive, scuba, sail, and explore the natural beauty of the great barrier reef.

The city itself is where much of the accommodation is close to international standard for 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.
