Cairns is about 1,720 km from Brisbane and about 2,500 km from Sydney by road. The City of Cairns has about 130,000 residents made up from a cosmopolitan mix of peoples and cultures. Tourism plays a major part in the Cairns economy although the city serves as the major commercial centre for Far North Queensland and the Cape York Peninsula Regions with regional offices for many government departments. The land around Cairns is still used for sugar cane farming, although this land is increasingly under pressure from new suburbs as the city grows.

Cairns offers holiday-makers world class accommodation and facilities for the perfect holiday and the year-round natural attractions are truly memorable and inspiring.
