Cairns Accommodation
Cairns is located about 1,701 km from Brisbane, and about 2,420 km from Sydney by road. It is a popular travel destination for many tourists because of its tropical climate and proximity to many attractions. The Great Barrier Reef can be reached in less than an hour by boat. The Daintree National Park and Cape Tribulation, about 130 km north of Cairns, are popular areas for experiencing a tropical rainforest. It is also a starting point for people wanting to explore Cooktown, Cape York Peninsula, and the Atherton Tableland.
The city has used its natural surroundings to its advantage with the construction of several small theme parks for tourists. Among them are Rainforestation Nature Park, the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park, and the Kuranda Skyrail Rainforest Cableway, which extends for 7.5 km over World Heritage rainforest.
A notable feature of the Cairns esplanade is a swimming lagoon with adjoining barbecue areas, the lagoon being designed in a similar shape to that of Queensland. A boardwalk allows pedestrians and cyclists to move along the foreshore from the Lagoon in a sustainable manner.
Cairns experiences a warm tropical climate. It experiences a wet season with tropical monsoons from December to April, and a relatively dry season from May to November, though showers are frequent for most of this period.
