Cairns Esplanade, Queensland

THERE'S no hotter tourist destination than Cairns, and that's double entendre "hotter", folks. Cairns, in the sunshine state of Queensland, is an alluring paradise at the Tropical Far North of Australia and is a buzz of activity with a carnival-esque atmosphere all-year round thanks to endless days of sunshine, breathtaking rainforest inland and a picture perfect coastline with beaches to die for.

This is the city Australians from the cooler southern climates peg their holiday dreams on and a region that attracts millions of tourists visit each year. more...

Cairns From Rex Lookout Far North Queensland

WOULD you like the world's oldest tropical rainforest with that holiday, sir/madam? Or perhaps a gentle laze on the golden, soft sands of a beach paradise? Perhaps a relaxing snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef is more your thing?

Cairns certainly has it all and is the hub of Tropical North Queensland. Cairns Airport is the major gateway to that hub with its alluring surrounds and nearby attractions.

Not just any old airport, Cairns Airport, is the largest regional airport in Australia and 6th busiest with a certain kind of magic that makes it stand up to be noticed. It offers direct access from other parts of Australia as well as Asia to such travel delights as a thriving coastal city that is the gateway for holiday cruises, tropical rainforests, island resorts and so much more. With no curfew it operates 24 hours around the clock and there's some great shopping and cafes found throughout the terminals. more...
