Cairns is the second largest city outside of the south-east corner of the state<br />
and an extremely popular international tourist destination. Cairns is often<br />
referred to as ‘where the rainforest meets the reef’ and is an extremely popular<br />
tourist destination. In addition to being the gateway for the world heritage<br />
listed Great Barrier Reef and Daintree Rainforest, Cairns is also only a stone's<br />
throw away from beautiful Port Douglas, Mission Beach, the Tablelands and<br />
Cape Tribulation<br />
