The Esplanade
The recently renovated Cairns Esplanade is the hub for visitors
to the city, providing an entertaining promenade with numerous
recreational opportunities, lined with a host of restaurants, bars
and cafes. Apart from a safe, sandy swimming lagoon and vast lawns
used for all sorts of purposes from picnics and barbecues to kite
flying, the Esplanade features wonderful Saturday arts and crafts
markets, spiced up by buskers and colourful street characters.
There is never a dull moment on this lively foreshore.

Language
English is the official language of Australia.
Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
