Workation in Cairns: the essentials

Founded in 1876 on the back of a gold rush, Cairns is today a working city of about 170,000 in Far North Queensland, living from tourism, healthcare and education along with aviation and marine trades. The Great Barrier Reef lies offshore and the Daintree rainforest to the north, a historic railway climbs to Kuranda on the tablelands, and the airport, about 6 km out, also handles international flights. The town has mudflats instead of a swimming beach, so people use the free Esplanade lagoon or drive north to Palm Cove and Trinity Beach. The wet season from about November to April brings humidity, stingers and the occasional cyclone.
