Cairns is one of Australia's most popular tourist destinations; over two million visitors come each year to enjoy the spectacular natural attractions and activities on offer, which include scuba diving and snorkeling on the Great Barrier Reef, exploring ancient rainforests, rivers and waterfalls, visiting the villages, crater lakes and national parks of the hinterland regions, and the coastal resort regions of Port Douglas and Mission Beach. Cairns has a diverse population of around 140,000. Its main industries are tourism, shipping and agriculture. With the Great Barrier Reef only 1.5 hours away by boat, there are many opportunities for reef and island visits and diving. These special environments provide living laboratories for many JAC courses. When you add the lower cost of living and the friendly Queensland lifestyle, it is easy to see why JAC is a popular destination for students from around the globe. The city has a cosmopolitan atmosphere with many cafés, restaurants, markets and nightclubs. The waterfront precinct, the Esplanade, includes a swimming lagoon and outdoor entertainment.
