LOCATION PROFILE

Running south from Cairns to Cardwell is a magical strip of coastline known as the Cassowary Coast, one of FNQ's hidden gems! Bordered by the Wet Tropics Rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef, this is a stunning place to call home.

Weekends are for adventure, and you'll find plenty of opportunities to explore your backyard without having to travel too far. There are islands for camping and hiking, and beaches for an extra dose of vitamin sea. Ask a local for their recommendation, grab a picnic and hit the road.
