Cairns

Cairns occupies a low coastal plain between the Coral Sea and the rainforest-clad Great Dividing Range in Far North Queensland. Trinity Bay forms the city’s waterfront, while the Cairns Esplanade follows the shore with parkland and a public lagoon. Offshore waters belong to the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park; inland, the Wet Tropics of Queensland World Heritage Area spreads across mountain ranges and rainforest. Founded in 1876 as a port serving the Hodgkinson goldfield, Cairns later became Far North Queensland’s principal regional centre.
