A quiet popular destination in north queensland. It is the closest mainland to the barrier reef and only a short drive from port douglas and cape tribulation

Favourite spots:
Barron Falls Crystal falls on sunny days

What's really great:
Being so close to the Barrier Reef and going out to it quite frequently

Sights:
Barrier Reef - take a trip with Reef Magic as they visit more sites then the others !
Karanda - Take the skyrail up and stop in th rainforest and then come back dwn on the old steam train taking in the beauty of barron falls
Crystal falls is worth a visit too

Accommodations:
Backpakers lodge along martyn street or any of the hostels along the seafront.

Nightlife:
Go on the cairns pub crawls - legendary, with competitions in each venue!!!

Hangouts:
If you want a one night stand then the woolpackers or is it woolshed is the place for you. however the irish pub opposite is good fun or the pier. Order a pitcher of beer or bourbon and coke !

Other recommendations:
Cape tribulation
Milla Milla Falls
The Cheescake shop
