Where is Cairns?

Palm Cove

Cairns is located on the north, east coast of tropical Queensland, Australia and is a popular travel destination for many. Peace Mitchell is a local to Cairns and very passionate about her town. Peace is Director of Cairns Family Holidays, a website specializing in providing family-friendly information, tips and reviews on Cairns and the surrounding region. Peace loves spending time with her family, travelling, reading, sailing and photography. Peace has authored the following post about Cairns.

Cairns is a fantastic destination for anyone wishing to experience the best of Australia’s natural experiences. Here you’ll find the amazing Great Barrier Reef, home to thousands of species of unique corals, tropical fish, sea turtles, dolphins and other animals. Reef trips go daily and you can have the option of diving, snorkeling or not getting well at all and exploring by glass bottom boat or semi submersible.

The coral islands off the coast of Cairns are gorgeous too, Green, Fitzroy, Double, Dunk and Bedarra are just a few of these beautiful islands where you can explore the rainforest, swim in the ocean and snorkel around the reef just metres from the beach.

Although most people visit Cairns to see the Great Barrier Reef the tropical rainforest here is an attraction in its own right. The rainforest found in the North Queensland region is thought to be among the very oldest continuously existing rainforest in the world.

Atherton

Just to the east of Cairns you’ll find the rolling green hills of the Cairns Highlands, locally known as the Atherton Tablelands, here the climate is a little cooler and you’ll find beautiful lakes, quaint villages and farming townships.

From the Tablelands it’s just a short drive to the outback where you can explore limestone caves, volcanic lava tubes, hot springs and experience aboriginal culture and life on a cattle station.

Cairns Esplanade Lagoon

The Cairns region has something for everyone! If you’re looking for adventure, then there’s bungee jumping, whitewater rafting, jungle surfing and a host of exciting water sports to choose from. If shopping’s your thing the region offers everything from boutique and duty-free shopping to locally made art and craft at the numerous markets held throughout the region. For families with young children there are numerous wildlife parks where the kids can hold a koala, feed the kangaroos or pose with a python. For nature enthusiasts you’ll find plenty of opportunities for bird-watching and exploring the rainforest both by day and by night.

Where is Clervaux?

Clervaux

Clervaux is situated snuggly in the Clerve Valley approximately 60km north of Luxembourg City, Luxembourg. It is a medieval market town surrounded by dense woodlands and situated on the Clerve River. There are two main attractions in Clervaux. The first, the Clervaux Castle, locally known as the ‘Burg Clerf’. It houses the famous exhibition of photos collected by Edward Steichen, called ‘The Family of Man’.

The second, is the Clervaux Church, a Benedictine Abbey of Saint Maurice and St.Maur, built in 1910 in Romanesque-burgundian style. It dominates the valley and town of Clervaux and when you first see it from a distance you get a strong impression of the Abbey. With the valley, hillsides and woodlands, these two buildings make for a fairytale setting.
