North
Queensland is a popular place and your journey through
Far North Queensland is not complete without a day or
two at Kuranda. A great day trip from Cairns is out to
Kuranda set within the Atherton Tableland. You can get
here on the Kuranda Scenic Railway or the Skyrail
Rainforest Cableway, and it is well worth visiting. Take
a guided Army Duck Rainforest tour in these unique
amphibious vehicles. Nearby is Mareeba a rice and
tobacco growing town, which holds a popular Rodeo in
July.

These include Clifton Beach, Ellis Beach, Holloways Beach, Machans Beach, Oak Beach, Palm Cove, Pebbly Beach, Pretty Beach, Trinity Beach and Yorkeys Knob. Many offer accommodation and better beaches than in Cairns itself.
