Cairns courier coverage

Cairns is the main city of far-north Queensland, sitting between the Coral Sea and the Daintree rainforest. The CBD runs along the Esplanade and Spence Street; Cairns North and Manunda are the immediate suburban ring. The northern beaches corridor — Holloways Beach, Yorkeys Knob, Trinity Beach, Clifton Beach and Palm Cove — extends about 30km north. Cairns Airport is 7km north of the CBD.

The economy is driven by tropical tourism, the Great Barrier Reef industry and connections to Cape York and Gulf country resources and agricultural operations. Courier demand reflects these industries: tour operator and hospitality supplies, mining parts, and government services for the broader far-north region.
