Cairns stretches from Ellis Beach in the north to Johnstone Shire Boundary in the south. The coastal strip of Cairns is bordered in the middle of the Coral Sea and the Great Dividing Range. Cairns was first discovered by Captain James Cook. The region was generally rugged and the environment was inhospitable to live. The discovery of gold attracted many explorers to the place.
