More About Cairns & Queensland
Cairns is considered to be the gateway to Queensland‘s tropical north and the Great Barrier Reef. This laid-back city has a bustling cafe culture, busy markets and plenty of sensational beaches with expansive stretches of soft white sands. Brisbane is the capital of Queensland. This large city lies beside the Brisbane River and is home to popular attractions such as the Queensland Museum, the Queensland Gallery of Modern Art and the Brisbane Botanic Gardens. The Great Barrier Reef is one of the most spectacular natural sights in the world. Discovering the reef is easy with many companies offering boat charters or excursions. Go diving or snorkelling and you'll be treated to the sights of diverse marine life including manta rays, sea turtles, colourful fish and reef sharks. Experienced divers will love the Yongala Shipwreck which is considered to be one of the best dive sites in the world. From Port Douglas, you can access the Daintree rainforest where informative guides will help immerse you in this lush green wilderness. You can spot forest dragons, freshwater sea turtles and the Ulysses butterflies before zipping through the canopy on a zipline or kayaking on the clear waters. A guided walk allows you to see the fascinating plants and ferns up close before you venture further into Cape Tribulation and perhaps take a 4-wheel drive jaunt to discover Bloomfield Falls and what lies beyond.
