Serving as a beautiful gateway to Queensland's Great Barrier Reef and the tropical north, the laid-back city of Cairns is one that is best enjoyed outdoors. What Cairns lacks in beachside frolicking opportunities, it makes for in its Esplanade lagoon, marina and city charm. Buzzing with trendy bars, backpacker haunts and must-try restaurants, Cairns is the perfect place from which to spend the day exploring the sun-drenched, rainforest-clad state of Queensland.
