Cairns, with a population of approximately 160,000 is Australia's 14th largest city and the 5th largest in Queensland. While now predominately a "tourist town" it is classified as a regional centre and supplies many outlying districts. Farming, especially the sugar industry,  and mining are still important industries with a large percentage of the population employed in these fields.

Cairns is surrounded by natural beauty and in fact Cairns is the only place in the world to have 2 world heritage listed areas side by side. These are of course the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest. Any area with one of these destinations on it's doorstep would be well worth visiting but to have 2 it makes Cairns truly special.

Marty and Heidi have lived in the Cairns area for over ten years and both have travelled extensively both around the world and more importantly for you, both know the east coast of Australia like the back of their hands. Both are avid scuba divers, spending any time possible underwater on the Great Barrier Reef. Both also love the outdoors, exploring the area's rainforests and bushland by 4WD, foot and kayak/canoe. There aren't many bushwalks they haven't done or waterholes they haven't swum in. So for help with the hidden gems that only the locals know about, just ask us for assistance. Both are also big on Cairns many adventure sports with both having done multiple bungee jumps and skydives as well as white water rafting, parasailing, hang gliding and just about every other adrenaline activity Cairns has to offer. They also own and run the Mareeba Rodeo Drive In theatre as well as a website specialising in the Cairns Party Scene, so they can help you planning events or entertainment. Basically there's not much they can't do for you. And if by the small chance they cannot help they will all too happily point you in the direction of someone who can.
