Queensland's regions

Two thousand kilometres north of Queensland's capital city Brisbane, the Cairns and Far North Queensland region is an excellent place to live because of its amazing natural features, numerous communities both large and small and broad variety of services. Cairns, with its international and domestic airport, is a two-and-a-half hours flight from Brisbane.

The region has an enviable tropical climate, allowing for a range of outdoor activities year round. Winter, the dry season, is between May and October and brings low humidity and cool breezes. Summer, between November and April, is also known as the wet season.
