Barron Far North Queensland Aerial Photos
On the northern outskirts of Cairns, on Queensland’s far north coast, lies Barron, one of its newer suburbs. Take the Captain Cook Highway north from the Cairns CBD, through Edge Hill and Aeroglen on to Barron. Machan’s and Holloway’s Beaches are just a short drive to the east, with all the spine tingling views over the Coral Sea and the Great Barrier Reef Islands. Add to Description →
Barron Information
Aerial photos of Barron show a largely semi-rural area with a burgeoning growth. Just ten minutes from Cairns, it has ready access to all that this magnificent region has to offer. Spend a morning at Mount Whitfield Conservation Park where the natural rainforest is protected. The walking tracks will lead you to the peak of Mt Lumley Hill for an extensive panorama.
Take a trip to one of the coral islands that litter the Coral Sea, snorkelling and scuba diving to your heart’s content. Ride the aerial skyway over the tropical rainforest to the Atherton Tableland for some breathtaking views of the tree canopy. Be astounded by the waterfall on the Barron River. Learn about the animals that live here, fish in the various lakes that abound, take in an Aboriginal performance or chill out over a coffee with some friends.
