The city of Cairns and the region of Queensland have many fascinating attractions to offer.
Cairns has used its natural surrounds to its full advantage with the construction of many small theme parks for tourists. Among them is the Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park, and Skyrail, a Gondola Cableway that extends for 7.5 km over World Heritage rainforest. The recently expanded Australian Science and Education Aquarium Centre ranks among the most visited tourist sites in northeastern Australia.
The greater state of Queensland is a popular travel destination for foreign tourists because of its proximity to many attractions. The Great Barrier Reef is only one and a half hours away by boat. The Daintree National Park and Cape Tribulation are popular areas for experiencing a true tropical rainforest. It is also a starting point for people wanting to explore Cooktown, Cape York Peninsula, and the Atherton Tablelands.
