| The weather and small size of Cairns makes walking to most destinations easy. Getting around beyond that requires a ride on the Sunbus, a taxi or a bicycle. There are some transportation services via boat and train to destinations around Cairns and throughout Queensland. Both Qantas and Virgin Blue offer flights to and from the tropical city and Macair can get you to the scenic islands off the coast. Source: Australia. Lonely Planet, 2004. |
