Cairns, also known as the Capital of the Tropical North, is a modern city with a laid-back lifestyle. Cairns experiences a warm tropical climate with a dry season between April and November and a wet season with tropical monsoons between November and March. Cairns is about 1,720 km from Brisbane and about 2,500 km from Sydney by road. The City of Cairns has about 130,000 residents made up from a cosmopolitan mix of peoples and cultures. Tourism plays a major part in the Cairns economy although the city serves as the major commercial centre for Far North Queensland and the Cape York Peninsula Regions with regional offices for many government departments. The land around Cairns is still used for sugar cane farming, although this land is increasingly under pressure from new suburbs as the city grows. Cairns is the main passenger route terminus for Queensland Rail, including the high speed tilt train that follows the eastern seaboard from Brisbane. The Cairns International Airport is Australia's sixth busiest in terms of international and domestic passenger movements. The Cairns Seaport serves as an important port for tourist operators providing daily reef trips and as a port of call for cruise liners cruising the South Pacific Ocean. Cairns offers holiday-makers world class accommodation and facilities for the perfect holiday and the year-round natural attractions are truly memorable and inspiring. Foreign tourists flock to Cairns because of its tropical climate and its proximity to the World Heritage Great Barrier Reef, only one and a half hours away by boat. Cairns has an extensive tourist infrastructure to cater for over one million annual tourists including accommodation of all standards, restaurants, bars, nightclubs, a casino, museums, Barrier Reef displays, theatres and more.
