Cairns
My Drive Holiday Destinations
How would you love to self-drive a city born between two of the world’s recognized attractions? Get close and personal with Cairns and experience the Great Barrier Reef and the Atherton Tablelands for real. And get this for history, the Daintree Rainforest, two hours north of Cairns, is about a 110 million years old! Challenge your adrenaline on bungee jumping or white water rafting at the Tully and Barron rivers. If you prefer an amiable experience, go diving, hiking, hot air ballooning, and dining. You can also spend some time with over 1000 tropical butterflies at the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary or visit a Queenair aircraft used in emergency missions at the Flying Royal Doctors Service.
