Cairns Convention Centre

Cairns has a great reputation when it comes to international and domestic conferences and conventions and it’s no wonder when the city has the multi award winning facility the Cairns Convention Centre. The Convention Centre is centrally located in the centre of Cairns city and alongside the Cairns Cruise Liner Terminal where a number of themed dinners and functions are held to break up the conference from business to pleasure. The Convention Centre holds Trade Shows, Symposiums, Exhibitions, Company Annual General Meetings and Conferences. The Cairns Convention Centre can accommodate any number of delegates up to a maximum of 3500 people so Cairns city has to provide a lot of accommodation close by for the delegates and the Cairns Holiday Specialists are very experienced in looking after conference delegates accommodation requirements and have been doing so for quite a number of years.

Cairns History

The history of Cairns follows a similar story just like most other Australian towns or waterfront ports originally being established in 1876 the original inhabitants were the Aboriginal people and the Torres Strait Islanders. Cairns was a gold rush port which attracted people from all over the world to find their fortune. Cairns became a very multicultural town with Cairns becoming home to South Sea Islanders, Malaysians, Japanese, Indonesians, Chinese, Sri Lankans, Phillipinos, Italians, Greeks and other Europeans. As you can imagine conflict began almost immediately between the Aboriginals and the new visitors who came to be residents. As Cairns has gone on and matured it is now recognised as home to two world icons the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree and Cape Tribulation rainforests another World Heritage listed icon.

Cairns Weather And Climate

The Cairns region has some of the most stable weather patterns thru ought the year with the average tropical temperature sitting at around 25 degrees Celsius. Locals say Cairns has only two seasons in the year and those are the “Dry Season” which runs from May to November and the “Green Season” December to April. Tourists flock to Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef in the Dry Season to escape the southern Australian winter to enjoy some time under a palm tree and snorkelling on the reef. Locals all agree that the absolute best time to visit Cairns is actually in the Green Season purely because of the hot balmy days, no winds and the colourful blooms of the trees and flowers and the fantastic fishing and animal activity at this time of renewal. The Green Season is when Cairns is at its peak of prettiness and has the most perfect of days for the beach and the Great Barrier Reef.
