Cairns, Queensland
Cairns (pronounced or or (cans), ) is a regional city and Local Government Area located in QueenslandAustralia. Originally settled in 1876, and named after William Wellington Cairns (the then Governor of Queensland) to serve miners heading for the Hodgkinson River goldfield, the settlement declined when an easier route was discovered from Port Douglas. However, Cairns' future was secured as it developed into a railhead and major port for the exportation of sugar cane, gold, precious metals and agricultural industries from the surrounding coastal and Tableland regions. The city is rapidly expanding, with a population of 127,438 (as of Feb, 2006), and is reliant on the sugar and tourism industries.
