Where is Cairns in Australia?
Cairns
Cairns was founded in 1876 and named after William Wellington Cairns, Governor of Queensland from 1875 to 1877.[8] It was formed to serve miners heading for the Hodgkinson River goldfield, but declined when an easier route was discovered from Port Douglas. It later developed into a railhead and major port for exporting sugar cane, gold and other metals, minerals and agricultural products from surrounding coastal areas and the Atherton Tableland region.
