Cairns
Trinity Bay city
Cairns is a coastal city in northeastern Australia, a popular gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest.
The city serves as a hub for tourists exploring tropical Queensland: We flew into Cairns and took a boat to the reef. (Lowercase cairns are stone piles used as markers.)
