CAIRNS QUEENSLAND AUSTRALIA
Cairns is the heart of Tropical North Queensland and is
the primary gateway to Tropical Northern Australia, Port Douglas, the Daintree Tropical Rainforest, and the
myriad islands.
Cairns is framed by the spectacular twin backdrops of tropical
rainforest mountain ranges and the sparkling Coral Sea and is a modern, sophisticated city, and is an ideal
base to explore the wider Tropical North Queensland region with front door access to World Heritage listed Great
Barrier Reef, Rainforest and Australian Outback.
The Cairns International Airport
is located only minutes north of the city centre.
The Great Barrier Reef stretches through Queensland's waters
for more than 2,500 kilometres, covering around 345,000 square kilometres. The Barrier Reef is world's largest
World Heritage site, it is made up of more than 2,900 individual reefs and 70 coral cays sprinkled along the
edge of the continental shelf.
From Cairns, you can enjoy a
Great Barrier Reef cruise out along the North Queensland coast - north
from the Bundaberg, Coral Coast & Country region. Head out for a guided snorkel, semi-submersible submarine
ride or take a reef walk on a coral cay. Serious divers can book five-day or week-long diving trips out of Cairns
which include meals, diving equipment and tanks and the expertise of guides who know the best sites. Choose
to see the Great Barrier Reef via high-speed catamaran, sail-based dive trips, live aboard boats and luxury
cruising vessels. You can access the Barrier Reef from regions along the coast of Queensland including Tropical
North Queensland, Townsville, Whitsunday's, Mackay, Capricorn, Gladstone and Bundaberg, Coral Coast & Country.
Cairns' warm weather means ideal diving temperatures - an
average water temperature of 29.5°C in summer in Cairns drops to only 23°C in winter; with a pleasant 26.5°C
summer average dropping to only 22°C in June on the Gold Coast to the State's south.
