Cairns is known as the gateway to Australia’s Great Barrier Reef and the gateway to the very important World Heritage listed rainforests of the Daintree and Cape Tribulation. Apart from the reef and the rainforests there are so many other things to see and do in and around the Cairns region so take a peek here for more ideas on what to do on your holiday.
Visitors travel from all parts of the world to Cairns and Port Douglas to see Australia’s Great Barrier Reef primarily as their number one priority as these reefs are listed as one of the seven wonders of the natural world and they are on most peoples bucket lists of things to see and do when visiting Australia
If you love long rainforest walks followed by a swim in a cooling mountain river stream and a picnic lunch in the shade then make your way from Cairns down the Bruce Highway to the township of Babinda. See the granite rock formations pounded by raging rivers over thousands of years provide mesmerising scenery along every pathway and around every corner.
