The Gateway to Tropical North Queensland
Cairns is one of Australia’s best-loved tropical cities, situated in stunning far north Queensland. The city is surrounded by a plethora of natural wonders and stunning landscape, which means it serves as a gateway to much of the region’s attractions, including the Great Barrier Reef,DaintreeRainforest, andAtherton Tableland.
Cairns is a city on the rise – and you’d be foolish to dismiss it as just a base from which to explore the surrounding region. The city attracts a young and vibrant mix of travellers and backpackers that adds to the notoriously laid-back vibe of the city. In recent years, the cityscape has seen lots of rejuvenation, with newly built pedestrian malls bringing a new life and energy to the city.
In Cairns, “it’s always 5 o’clock somewhere” is an attitude that the city embraces wholeheartedly. The city’s dressed-down vibe lends itself well to spending the day doing nothing at all – which explains why it’s so popular with backpackers. And with its hot, tropical climate, a cold beer is always the order of the day. With competition high, the city is awash with plenty of places where visitors can grab a feed and a beer on a budget.
In Cairns, people tend not to swim in the oceans because of the risk of stingers, particularly during the summer season. Cairns Esplanade works like the city’s beach. It’s made up of parks and boardwalks running alongside the shoreline, with a public swimming pool – known as the lagoon – looking out over the ocean. The Esplanade Lagoon is a great hangout spot that more than makes up for the lack of ocean swimming.
If you’re not in town to visit the Great Barrier Reef, you can still cast your eyes on some stunning marine life, courtesy of recently opened Cairns Aquarium, which has brought some of the reef to the city. Conservationists have meticulously collected live specimens and transported them to tanks where natural habitats have been re-created to educate visitors about protecting the area’s precious ecosystem.
To experience a different sort of nightlife, look out for the flocks of fruit bats that can be seen flying over the CBD as the sun sets. These amazing creatures are fascinating to watch and are hard to miss if you’re in the city as dusk descends.
Come morning when you’re looking for breakfast and coffee, Cairns is well-equipped to cater for those with even the most discerning tastes. Grafton Street is home to many great cafes. Look for the laneway covered with street art that leads to Caffiend, which is widely regarded to be best coffee in Cairns. Billy’s Coffee is also another top spot to grab a locally roasted coffee brewed and served by award-winning baristas.
