Cairns, North of Queensland, Australia
Cairns (/ˈkɛərnz/, locally /ˈkænz/[4]), is a regional city, encompassing smaller townships, in the far north of Queensland, Australia, founded 1876. The city was named after William Wellington Cairns, then-current Governor of Queensland. It was formed to serve miners heading for the Hodgkinson River goldfield, but experienced a decline when an easier route was discovered from Port Douglas. More Info visit:

Cairns Vacation Travel Guide
Cairns Vacation Travel Guide
Cairns is a small port city, yet what it may lack in size it makes up for with its access to a bounty of natural beauty. In fact, Cairns is considered a gateway to tropical North Queensland. This eastern Australia city is where the rainforest meets the reef, with Daintree Rainforest to the north and the Great Barrier Reef to the east.
Start your day in Cairns by visiting some of the open parkland in the city center or going for a short swim in the man-made lagoon. Rent a bike on the promenade or hit the waves at Trinity Beach if you want to experience some Aussie surfing.
After a morning of activity, you might be ready to slow things down. A trip on the Skyrail® Rainforest Cableway is Cairns sightseeing at its best. The cable car will take you over the canopy of tropical rainforest and waterfalls. The last stop on this breathtaking 90-minute ride is Kuranda, a small mountain village where you can do a bit of shopping before heading back down to Cairns. The rail also takes passengers to Smithfield, which is less than one hour from Port Douglas, an excellent destination for upscale shopping and dining.
After your spectacular rail ride, consider checking out some of the Cairns tourism that puts you up close and personal with some of Australia’s more… dangerous wildlife. Hartleys Crocodile Adventures lets you immerse yourself in the daily life of a croc by taking a boat ride through a swamp-like habitat where several of the reptiles live.
If softer animals are more up your alley, fear not. Cairns tours should always include a stop to the Cairns Tropical Zoo, where you can make some kangaroo and koala friends.

A Tourist's Guide to Cairns & the Great Barrier Reef, Australia
We fly into Cairns, Queensland. After a night there, we head out to a few of the outer reefs to film some very poor footage underwater. The camera was not really up to the job!
Then we see the bats in Cairns, one of which drops something quite horrid and disgusting.

The Cairns Esplanade
The Cairns Esplanade
The esplanade street as we know it today was the first to be surveyed in Cairns in October 1876. It was named Troughton Esplanade after the Travelling Superintendent of the Australian Steam Navigation Company, Captain Fred Troughton. At some point in the history of Tropical North Queensland, the original city plans were lost and the name Troughton was dropped, resulting in the simple name “Esplanade”.
The Cairns Esplanade, in Tropical North Queensland, Australia, has been a focal point for locals and visitors in Cairns city since the region was founded in the late 1800s. It is a recreational area for people from all walks of life — backpackers traveling around Australia, visitors looking for a beautiful view during an early evening dinner, couples having an early morning jog, teenagers using the skateboard ramp, CBD workers resting on the grass for lunch.
The esplanade was once a sandy beach. It is believed that the dredging of the Grafton Channel for shipping resulted in the mud completely covering the sandy beach because the sediment gathered during the dredging process was dumped offshore and promptly swept back into silt the inlet and cover the esplanade beach with mud. This infusion of mud has been great for the mangrove ecosystem, but not great for tourists who would rather see a sandy beach than a muddy tidal swamp. The arguments purported by developers are that the mudflats are an artificial ecosystem that is not integral to the mangrove forests. But environmentalists assert that the area has been in its current form long enough to be home to thousands of species of mud-dwelling creatures, and to dump the sand on top of them is environmental vandalism.

Top 10 Things to Do in Cairns, Australia | Best Activities in Tropical North Queensland
What are the top 10 things to do in Cairns? What to do in Cairns? We answer these questions for you in this video! We show you the best things to do in Cairns! If you do any of the activities mentioned, make sure to comment below!
Here are the Top 10 Best Things to do from Cairns!
1. Walk on Cape Tribulation: This can be done via tour or you can rent a car and drive yourself (winding roads though). Make sure that you do NOT swim in the water during the summer months due to deadly box jellyfish, check online to see when it is safe to swim.
2. The curtain fig tree is a beautiful stop along the road and only about a two minute walk to get there from parking. For more information on how to get there and where it is located visit the link:
3. Snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef is a well known must do in Cairns! There are many different companies that will take you out to the reef, but after plenty of research we decided on Reef Experience because they included everything, including an introductory scuba dive (most companies charge big $$ for that) and a delicious lunch! They also go to two different reef locations which gives you an opportunity to see different types of corals and fishes! Check out their website for more information!
4. Paronella Park is a beautiful place but just watch out for the mosquitoes!! There is a inspiring and sad story about a dream then a tragedy of this place, if you want to find out more check out the website.
5. The Daintree Rainforest is the oldest living rainforest in the WORLD! Again watch out for those mosquitoes! There is lots of unique wildlife there! We were able to see a rare insect, a large spider, green ants, a dragon, and lots of flora and fauna. We did miss out on seeing a causeway though.
6. Scuba diving for the first time in the Great Barrier Reef was a mesmerizing experience! For more experienced scuba divers you may want to consider a scuba diving specialty boat (although snorkeling was amazing as well), but for those first time divers a great way to see the reef is through an introductory dive! Reef Experience made us both feel comfortable and didn’t pressure us to do anything. Highly recommend!
7. Millaa Millaa falls was extra strong while we were there due to the large rainfalls. You can swim at the falls but be aware of the the murky water at times and the strength of the waterfall. For information on Millaa Millaa and other falls check here:
8. Swim in a fresh clear creek! Apparently these are everywhere, all you have to do is venture one road away from the main highway (not sure which highway, but we were driving to the fig tree and Paronella Park that day)! These may not be easy to find but it is well worth the adventure if you do, thankfully our tour guide showed us the way!
9. Take a cruise along the Daintree River! We were able to see lots of crocodiles, including a very large one, a mama one (the one in the video), and lots of babies! There was also fish and many unique plants!
10. Watch the bats come out at dusk and fly over the city! This was such a crazy experience to see the sunset and watch as a clear sky was filled with thousands of bats flying overhead. They are only in certain locations in Cairns, but if you are in the CBD you will likely see them!
