About Cairns & Cape York:
Cairns is a tropical paradise where the rainforest meets the reef and is the only place in the world where two world heritage-listed sites can be found side-by-side. Cairns is a popular travel destination for both students and tourists as it is surrounded by the many attractions that Far North Queensland has to offer. To the north of Cairns, you will find the wet tropics rainforests, to the south are many waterfalls and lakes, the east is where you will find the famous Great Barrier Reef, and the west holds the Australian outback. Cairns is home to the beautiful northern beaches which stretch for 26km, as well as an abundance of swimming holes and waterfalls. The neighbouring towns of Kuranda, Port Douglas, Yungaburra and Atherton also contribute to the diversity of the region.
The community of Aurukun is located on the north-west coast of the Cape York Peninsula, 178km (2hrs 30mins) by road south of the mining town of Weipa and 811km (11hrs) from Cairns. Nearly the entire population (99.6%) lives within the township.
