The once sleepy town of Cairns is fast emerging as Australia’s
leading holiday destination. Whilst designer shops, gourmet restaurants
and traditional “pubs” now line the Esplanade, Cairns still
retains a distinctive, Tropical North Queensland atmosphere. The city
sits amidst a magnificent backdrop of rugged rainforest mountainside
and centres around a delightful marina which offers safe anchorage to
the many yachts and catamarans which sail daily to the Great Barrier
Reef.
The glorious untouched beaches of North Queensland lie just 20 minutes
away from Cairns. Driving north, the small and exclusive retreat of
Kewarra offers accommodation that blends naturally into the flora and
fauna bordering beautiful Kewarra Beach. 6kms further along the coastline
Palm Cove has a delightful village
atmosphere, with cobble-stoned streets fringed with coconut palms and
complimented by long stretches of white sand. Continuing the scenic
drive along the Marlin Coast you reach the picturesque village of Port
Douglas, famous for its “Four Mile Beach” and boasting a marina
resplendently lined with boutiques and harbourside cafes.
North of Port Douglas lies Cape Tribulation, a living museum of plant
and animal species, it is one of the few remaining areas of undisturbed
coastal rainforest in the world today. This beautiful World Heritage
Listed National Park is known as the area where the Rainforest meets
the Reef. Those exploring west of Cairns will discover the Atherton
Tablelands with jungle edged volcanic lakes, waterfalls and the delights
of Kuranda accessible by the famous
Kuranda Railway and the amazing Skyrail, the world’s longest gondola
cableway.
