Cairns City Information |
||||||||||||
Cairns is a regional city in North Queensland Australia. The city was named after William Wellington Cairns, the then Governor of Queensland. It was formed to serve miners heading for the Hodgkinson River goldfield, but experienced a decline when an easier route was discovered from Port Douglas. It later developed into a railhead and major port for exporting sugar cane, gold and other metals, minerals and agricultural products from surrounding coastal areas and the Atherton Tableland region.
