Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 72 reviews
One of Australia's most unique venues. Converted from historic wartime oil tanks to an arts centre. By day view free art exhibitions and walk the beautiful surrounds. By night be sure to check who is playing in Cairns' best entertainment venue (awarded this title for the last five years and counting).

6. Red Arrow Walk
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 235 reviews
Behind the Botanic Gardens is Mount Whitfield Conservation Park, home to the Red and Blue Arrow Trails. These two linked tracks ascend the slopes of Mount Whitfield. The Red Arrow loop trail (1.5Km return) beginning at Collins Avenue, climbs 100m in elevation through rainforest, Eucalypt forest and grasslands to a lookout above the Cairns International Airport offering views over the city and out to Green Island. A short link trail ascends a further 50 metres to another lookout from where the Blue Arrow loop trail (4.5Km return) commences. The Blue Arrow trail takes you through mainly rainforest to an elevation of 300m. About half way around, a short side track will take you to a lookout on the summit of Mt Lumley Hill where you get views along the coast to the north of Cairns.

Exercise or a stroll, close to city with some airport views. Can't go wrong for a day in the Bush. Basically in the botanical gardens so make a day of it after doing the arrows go for a boardwalk, see the lakes and gardens.

This is a very attractive place where, reading the headstones, you can gain an insight into early Cairns. In middle of the cemetery there's a roster of graves, so if you're looking for someone in specific, this handy signage will facilitate your search. There is a fence all the way around the cemetery which is kept locked during hours of darkness.

We took the sky rail to Kuranda, checked out the markets and had a little lunch, walked by the river, very pretty and then returned on the Kuranda Rail, met by a bus and back to our car. The Kuranda Rail really is a Not to be missed experience, fabulous view, wonderful historic commentary and a great experience by the spectacular views and waterfalls.

I visit Foot & Body Massage every time I visit Cairns and it never disappoints. Very clean & totally professional. Well worth visiting for a full body or just a foot massage.
