CAIRNS
a
TROPICAL PARADISE
of
FAR NORTH QUEENSLAND
Cairns, established in 1876 as a port for goldfields to its west, is now a cosmopolitan, second biggest city in Queensland. Sadly, due to climate change Cairns has been flooded for the past two years. It started with cyclone Jasper, cyclone Alfred, some minor deluges and cyclone Narelle just recently. Cairns is not complaining about shortage of water.
During the WWII Cairns was a base for operations in the Pacific. Now Cairns is a gateway to Great Barrier Reef, the National Heritage Reef and many nearby islands.
Its climate is tropical and the sunsets are impressive.
