|  | On the Gold Coast in northern Queensland, Cairns is Australia's most popular tourist destination.
Water wonders
Cairns is the gateway to one of the world's natural wonders: the Great Barrier Reef! There you can swim in turquoise-blue water amid the riotously colored fish and coral !
The coral reef shelters many endangered species, such as the green sea turtle, and is also a breeding area for humpback whales.
From land to sea
In this corner of the world, where nature is endlessly spectacular, there are some sights not to be missed, e.g. Daintree National Park, where the rainforest meets the sea, and the islands scattered along the coast, like Lizard Island, Dunk Island or Hinchinbrook Island. |
