Cairns City ToteMention the word Cairns and you imagine the Barrier Reef, tropical rainforests or the cool lakes of the tablelands and a relaxed, casual way of life. This city and the surrounding area is a mixture of history, culture and natural attractions that make it difficult to draw a unique interpretation. The scene along the waterfront is one that many view from cruise boats as they leave or return from excursions to the Barrier Reef. The wharf area was originally developed in the late 1800’s for the purpose of shipping gold, tin and sugar which secured the fortunes of the port. The esplanade along the foreshore has been transformed with a swimming lagoon and grassy picnic areas. Sides 1 and 2Trinity Wharf is one of the oldest areas in Cairns and although it has been redeveloped, it still features some historic buildings. Cruises to the reef and islands depart from here every day. The Reef Casino with its unique glass domed roof features a hotel, restaurants, bars, stunning live stage shows, shopping boutiques and the excitement of a casino. The hotel and its conference rooms are popular for weddings and functions. The Pier Marketplace, located on the waterfront, is a very popular place to visit for both tourists and locals alike. There are over 100 specialty retailers with a large aquarium and numerous restaurants and cafes. Most visitors to Cairns include a visit to The Pier during their stay. The complex also encompasses the luxurious Radisson Plaza Hotel. Every day, thousands of people board their reef or fishing charter boats for their trip to the Barrier Reef from the Marlin Marina. GussetsThe Skyrail cableway travels seven and a half kilometres over World Heritage-listed tropical rainforest between Smithfield and Kuranda.
