Travel Info

Cairns

Perfect tropical weather, World Heritage-listed rainforests, secluded beaches, island escapes and vibrantly coloured reef. The Cairns and Great Barrier Reef region offers an ideal setting for that perfect Queensland holiday and is also where you will find Australia's largest concentration of resorts and guesthouses catering exclusively to gay and lesbian travellers, as well as many gay and lesbian friendly ones too.

Picture yourself on a secluded beach, rainforest hideaway or enjoying the fun and adventure that the region offers. You will find plenty of places to stay in the region, including gay and lesbian-resorts, as well as boutique-style gay-friendly accommodation (many GALTA/IGLTA members) by the beach, in the rainforest or in the highlands.

In Cairns you can meet the local boys and girls at Nu-trix Nightclub or see some entertaining drag. You can also spend the day onboard a reef or island cruise.
