WHERE WE ARE

The Cairns city area itself is a long, narrow coastal strip edged between the Coral Sea and the Great Dividing Range. The area extends from Ellis Beach in the north to Russell River in the south, and covers more than 1600 sq.km.

Cairns local area includes Queenslands highest mountain, Mt Bartle Frere, and is the gateway to two of the world's greatest natural attractions and World Heritage listed treasures - the Barrier Reef and the Wet Tropics rainforests. Mountains, beaches, tidal wetlands, freshwater lakes, mudflats, mangrove swamps, bays, rivers, estuaries, and rich coastal plains are the dominant features of this tropical environment.
