You'll find beautiful beaches .... rainforest .... the Great Barrier Reef .... or the beauty of the Tablelands with its grater lakes .... and all within a few hours of Cairns.
Cairns caters for your every need. Shopping ranges from department stores to exclusive and specialist shops.
In the city mall the shopping is relaxed and varied and a visit to the Pier Market place is a must. Its open 7 days a week, but is especially interesting on the weekends, where lots of traders set up their wares within the complex.
Rusty's Bazaar in Grafton Street is open on the weekends also. Trinity Wharf, Village Lane, the Conservatory, Palm Court and Orchid Plaza are just a few of the places to browse and shop. You will find most of the shops in Cairns are open 7 days a week.
In Cairns, it's summer all year round with 27 degrees C being the average winter temperature, so you'll not have to pack much to travel to North Queensland.
The waters off Cairns and Innisfail are famous throughout the world for the "big black"... the largest marlin in the world. It's not uncommon for over 150 fish to be caught in a single year from a single boat. Many are tagged and released, and it's only the possible records that hang from the scales on the Marlin Jetty.
A visit to Green Island and Fitzroy Island should be considered a must as first class diving conditions are provided for enthusiasts where over 1,500 varieties of fish can be viewed eyeball to eyeball.
The waterfront itself is quite spectacular with the fleets of game fishing vessels, pleasure craft and dive boats which come in all shapes and sizes.
