Cairns Regional

The terrain of Cairns Regional runs from the low Coral Sea coast in the east to rainforest-clad ranges in the west, creating a distinctly tropical setting. Cairns lies on Trinity Bay, while the Barron River reaches the sea north of the city. Offshore, the Great Barrier Reef forms an essential part of the region’s identity and tourism economy. The Kuranda Scenic Railway, opened in 1891, climbs from Cairns to Kuranda through the rainforest. The area also encompasses the traditional Country of Aboriginal peoples, including the Yirrganydji and Djabugay. Browse nearby webcams to discover the varied corners of Cairns Regional.
