City Description
Located on the east coast, in the north of Queensland, this small town has a charm that only Australia could have. Enjoy its seafront and the range of water activities that you can find there. Have you ever tried kitesurfing? It's now or never! Fancy working on your cut back, the famous 180° turn in surfing? There are lots of surf clubs all along the town's tree-lined waterfront. In short, this is a paradise for thrill seekers, but it will also delight hikers and those who love to experience the wild, thanks to its fabulous natural heritage. Proof of this can be found at the Cairns Tropical Zoo, unique in the region and allowing you to see such characteristic species such as koalas, cockatoos and hairy-nosed wombats up close. Thrill seekers can head for Hartley's Crocodile Adventures to see the giant reptiles living in their natural habitat. A fauna that is deserving of our attention, just like the lascivious beaches of Palm Cove where you can take off for a dive in the Great Barrier Reef. The perfect place for your first underwater experience! Palm Cove and its surrounding area can also be discovered from up high, by taking the rainforest road, catching a cable car and setting off on a hike. It's time to awaken your inner explorer; the aerial view that you will have over the lush expanses is simply breathtaking!
