    Get that tropical holiday feeling in Cairns

    The colourful Great Barrier Reef, idyllic islands and beaches, ancient tropical rainforests, and unique wildlife. These are just a few reasons to travel to the north-eastern part of Australia: Tropical North Queensland, with Cairns at its bustling heart.

    Up here, life moves differently and that's exactly the point. Wander from open-air markets to microbreweries in Cairns, sip cocktails with sandy feet in Palm Cove, or watch the sun melt into the ocean in Port Douglas. Whether you're city-side, beach-bound or tucked away in a rainforest retreat, the pace is cruisy, the smiles come easy, and the welcome's as warm as the weather.
