Cairns is located 1700 kilometres north of Queensland's capital Brisbane and a 2500 kilometre drive from Sydney.  Centrally located in North Queensland, Cairns is just a short distance from the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park as well as the protected Daintree Rainforest.

Cairns offers a wide range of activities to fill in time when you're not four wheel driving, such as excellent shopping, gourmet restaurants, scenic flights, local tours, rainforest walks, scuba diving, sailing and pristine beaches to name just a few.

Cairns can be accessed via air, tilt train and coach as well as personal vehicle, and can be found by following the Bruce Highway north along the Queensland coast.
