Australia’s finest non-capital city, Cairns is the world’s entrance to Far North Queensland.

<h2>Resort Cairns – What Cairns has to Offer</h2>
Cairns provides access to the World Heritage listed Great Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics Rainforests along with the Australian Outback. Cairns, with its international and domestic airport, is the first stop for many visitors who want to see the real Australia.

Laze on the tropical beaches, dive on the reef and experience the unique tropical rainforests that date back to when the continent was part of ancient Gondwanaland, thousands of eons ago.

Take a dip in the modern Esplanade lagoon, then look across the serene waters of Trinity Inlet and you will view coastal mountains and mangrove areas that have changed little since the site was discovered by Captain James Cook in 1770.

The stunning Esplanade Lagoon is the perfect spot to spend a sultry day soaking up the sun and dipping in the lagoon’s cool and inviting shallows. There are many shaded spots to take refuge from the sun in the heat of the day, as well as barbeque facilities. The boardwalk has unique displays of Cairns’s local culture and has many exercise facilities for those keen on getting a bit more active.

Cairns is extremely well suited to walking, or travel by cycle. Well used pathways and dedicated walking paths abound. A visit to the Cairns Botanical Gardens is not to be neglected. It features 38 hectares of natural Aussie gardens which are maintained to big city botanical garden standards, and many species found here cannot be seen elsewhere.  Located among the plants is a coffee shop and restaurant, which is open daily for breakfast and lunch. Entry to the gardens is free.
