ケアンズ アクエリアス

This thriving, friendly city lies beside the calm waters of the Coral Sea, dotted with the world's greatest coral reef, emerald island and white sand cays. To the west, across spectacular rainforest-clad mountains, the cool green pastures of the Atherton Tableland are studded with world heritage forests, lakes and waterfalls. Still a proud keeper of its fascinating Aboriginal and early settler history, Cairns today is a bustling land, sea and airport, stepping off point for Port Douglas, The Daintree, the Outback and the colourful Torres Strait Islands off Australia's northern tip, Cape York. At the heart of it all, on the city's picturesque Esplanade, rises Aquarius, an accommodation complex of beautifully appointed holiday apartments that bring new meaning to the phrase "affordable luxury." Make Aquarius your address and you're at the centre of things. Just a short stroll along the Esplanade, with its ancient figs and fragrant frangipani, are the famed Marlin Jetty, Trinity Wharf, the Reef Casino, duty free shopping and first class restaurants specialising in the mouth-watering bounty of the reef and hinterland
