Within the city, several attractions stand out, including Rainforestation Nature Park, Tjapukai Aboriginal Cultural Park and Skyrail Cableway. Eco-adventures, food trail tours, cultural encounters and adrenalin-pumping adventures are all on the itinerary. Even December through April’s monsoon season can’t dampen Cairns’ delights. « less
