Cairns, Australia

It wasn’t that long ago that Cairns (pronounced Cans), the heart of the remote Australian area known as “The Deep North,” was a sleepy little outpost in the midst of the tropics. Founded in 1876 as a port for inland gold fields, Cairns is a tribute to the first surveyors who cleared just enough scrub land to set up their tents before mapping out streets wide enough for a future city. Later, Cairns was a railhead from which produce grown on the fertile Atherton Tableland and sugar cane from the coastal plains was transported to other parts of the country.

Port Douglas

As recently as ten years ago, Port Douglas was a sleepy fishing village. Today, however, this small town is one of the “in” destinations in Australia. Known as the Port by locals, the town with its old Queensland timber buildings retains an authentic feel, despite the growing presence of modern resorts and hotels. Some of the developments include a multimillion dollar Sheraton Mirage resort, where President Clinton stayed during his recent visit, golf course, heliport, marina and a shopping complex – all ingredients to attract the rich and famous. While the town offers itself as a charming locale for strolling along streets lined with interesting little shops and outdoor sitting areas, it is the proximity to the Barrier Reef and the Rainforest Habitat that makes Port even more attractive to the scores of visitors who pride themselves on discovering this gem in northern Queensland.

Cooktown is located on the remote, unspoilt beauty of the Cape York Peninsula is nestled between the mouth of the Endeavour River and Grassy Hill – the location of the first recorded sighting of kangaroos by Europeans. With Mt Cook as a backdrop, Cooktown is a charming, historical town, unspoilt by the urgency of modern life.

“Australia’s capital of the north is a uniquely tropical city, and a historically isolated outpost of this vast, diverse country. Reaching up towards the equator, a full 2,000 miles from Sydney and Melbourne, the city was named in honour of Charles Darwin by the British settlers who established a frontier outpost here. With a unique history, beautiful islands nearby, and a palette of sizzling Pacific flavours, colourful Darwin is an enchanting and exotic Australian destination. Crocodiles patrol the jungled waterways and tropical rainforests around Australia’s gateway to the Top End.

Explore via airboat to look down on the veiny waterways of the mist-laced Kakadu National Park. The sounds of chattering birdlife and the gentle splash of fountains and waterfalls will fill your ears in George Brown Darwin Botanic Gardens. Soak it all in, before kicking back and relaxing with a picnic and a crackling barbecue. The sunshine and famous tropical pink sunsets mean many visitors naturally gravitate to the city’s soft sands to relax at spots like pretty Mindil Beach, as evening approaches. The adjoining market is filled with souvenirs and crafts stands and is the perfect great place to enjoy some fiery Asian flavours. Stroll the stalls, grab some food, and crack open an ice-frosted beer as the sunset show begins. It may be remote, but Darwin found itself on the front line during the Pacific War, as the Japanese air force unloaded their bombs onto the city in 1942. This relaxed unassuming city has a deeply resilient backbone, however, and you can explore the museums to learn more of the war’s impact on Darwin, as well as the devastating effects of one of Australia’s worst natural disasters, Cyclone Tracy in 1973.”
