magnificent, it lies on the warm waters of beautiful

incorporating an outdoor amphitheatre, a large sandy
swimming lagoon, grassy picnic areas, walking
tracks, free public barbeques, children's
playground, shops and restaurants, an environmental
interpretation centre and a Great Barrier Reef
Cruise departure terminal.
Cairns also boasts of its Convention Centre used for
sports, concerts and more, its Regional Art Gallery
with innovative and creative art exhibits shown
daily, its Reef Casino with its own wildlife park at
the top under a glass dome and the multitude of
upscale shopping centres and gourmet restaurants.
