LIVING IN CAIRNS | CHOOSE CAIRNS

Cairns is the international gateway to two precious and pristine World Heritage listed natural wonders. The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s biggest marine park and home to more than 9000 species of coral, birds, fish and marine life. The Wet Tropics rainforest is a living, breathing ark and home to many plants and animals found nowhere else on earth.

Cairns is one of Australia’s most popular destinations for international holiday makers. We welcome more than 2.4 million people each year, with approximately half of this number from overseas.
