Cairns in Northern Queensland is a city with laid back natural charms. It is famous for its quays, piers. At its busy waterfronts, the visitor can count hundreds of big and small fishing vessels moored to the banks and quays. Since Cairns lies in the northernmost part of Australia, it is not very far from the equatorial forests of Borneo. Indeed, the tropical rainforests of Cairns gives it a look that is different from the desert outback or the grassland plains of central and western Australian cities. The busy pier shops sell knick-knacks typically found in any Australian fisherman's home, while the upscale Esplanade has an elegant shopping district that retails everything from designer clothes to cosmetics. The sea off the coast of Cairns harbors the Great Barrier Reef, declared a heritage site by the UN.
The major hotels in Cairns are located close to the city center. Accommodation ranges from the affordable 3 star hotels to the luxurious 5 star resorts. The Queens Court is located in the quiet Sheridan Street, very close to the newly built Esplanade.
