Destination: Cairns-Gimuy

Make the most of your time in paradise 

Cairns–Gimuy is more than a gateway to the Great Barrier Reef-it’s a region rich with natural splendour, vibrant culture, and warm tropical charm. Between concerts, patrons can wander along the leafy Esplanade, relax at the lagoon, explore the city’s acclaimed restaurants and art galleries, or enjoy a sunset at the waterfront. A short trip from the city reveals breathtaking diversity-from the ancient rainforests of the Daintree and Cape Tribulation to the pristine beaches of Palm Cove and Trinity Beach.

Explore the Tablelands and Tropical North

Just an hour’s scenic drive inland lies the lush Atherton Tablelands, a cool-climate oasis of rolling hills, crater lakes, waterfalls, and charming country towns. Patrons can visit Lake Eacham and Lake Barrine for tranquil rainforest walks, sample local coffee and chocolate in Mareeba, discover waterfalls near Millaa Millaa, or wander through the heritage village of Yungaburra with its markets and art galleries. The region’s boutique wineries, farm-to-table produce, and wildlife encounters—from tree-kangaroos to platypus—make the Tablelands a true hidden gem.

Whether diving into the reef, gliding above the rainforest canopy on the Skyrail, or exploring the Tablelands’ hinterland beauty, every journey from Cairns–Gimuy reveals another layer of its tropical magic-making it the ideal setting for music, discovery, and renewal.
