Cairns was founded in 1876 as a port for the inland gold mines of Queensland. It is now the heart of the Tropical North of Queensland, and is one of Australia's most welcoming cities. Stroll, relax, fly a kite, or have a barbecue on the Esplanade, a popular gathering area. Enjoy several great beaches just north of the city. Cairns is also a great place to watch migratory birds.
This once-sleepy fishing village is developing into a first-class resort destination, although the natives have known about its ideal weather and various natural attractions for some time. Nestled on the shore between the World Heritage Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef, Port Douglas is surely one of the most scenic destinations in Australia.
