If your idea of paradise is endless white sandy beaches, fringed with exotic
palms and lapped by crystal clear water, then Tropical North Queensland
is the place for you. Basking in year-round tropical sunshine, it's a place
to relax and recharge the batteries. But not for long - there are plenty
of things to do and see in the region.
A must for all visitors is a trip to the Great Barrier Reef. There
are many day trips and cruises available which give you the opportunity
to snorkel amongst the coral and brightly coloured tropical fish. The diving
along the Reef is world renowned and both experts and beginners are well
catered for. You can even explore this natural wonderland without getting
your feet wet, aboard a glass bottomed boat or semi-submersible.
On land, magnificent ancient rainforest covers the hills. You can journey
above its towering canopy to the village of Kuranda on the amazing Skyrail
cableway, returning on the historic Scenic Railway, with spectacular views
of the Barron Gorge and Falls. The nearby Tjapukai Park gives a fascinating
insight into Aboriginal culture and art.
The Atherton Tablelands, just an hour from Cairns and 900m above sea level,
are cooler and greener, with impressive waterfalls, volcanic lakes and charming
country towns to explore. There are great bush walks and even hot air balloon
rides.
The relaxed town of Cairns makes an ideal touring base or stay in one of
the fabulous beach resorts of Yorkeys Knob, Trinity Beach or Palm Cove.
