| Attractions in Cairns include the Kuranda Skyrail at Smithfield. This is about a 10 minutes drive North along the Cook Highway from Cairns airport. The Skyrail will take you up to Kuranda - a village set in the tropical rainforest of Far North Queensland, where you can catch the Kuranda Scenic rail train back down to the city centre. |
Next door to the Skyrail you can visit the Award Winning Tjabukai Aboriginal Village and try your hand at spear or boomerang throwing or go at night for an awesome dance and fire show followed by dinner. You can also drive up the Range from Smithfield to Kuranda and then continue on to The Tablelands - see section on Tablelands. In Cairns town city centre, try the Rainforest Dome which is located next door to the Cairns Casino. On a hot day drive yourself to Sugarworld, a water theme park based about 10 minutes drive South of Cairns. Best variety & value of shopping is at Cairns Central shopping centre next to Cairns Railway Station. |
