Destination
Cairns
is the focal point of Australia's tropical north and is one of the world's
most diverse and exciting destinations. Whilst in Cairns, delegates can
visit the world famous Great Barrier Reef and World Heritage listed Daintree
Rainforest, go white water rafting, hot air ballooning, play golf at Paradise
Palms and experience Aboriginal art and culture, to name but a few attractions.
In June, Cairns' weather is idyllic with temperatures ranging from 17
to 26 degrees Celsius (62 to 78 degrees Fahrenheit).
The Cairns Convention Centre has been chosen as the conference venue. It is Australia's first ecologically designed convention centre and is within easy walking distance to hotels, shopping, the casino and entertainment venues.
Most of Cairns' major hotels are located on the waterfront, overlooking Trinity Bay and are within walking distance to the city centre and other local attractions.
