Welcome to Diving Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef. The ultimate guide to a Cairns scuba diving holiday on North Queensland's Great Barrier Reef. Diving Cairns is an online travel agency staffed by experts, and based in Cairns, North Queensland, Australia-the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.
The southern end of the Great Barrier Reef begins just northeast of Bundaberg, Queensland, and it is a distance of 1 294 km, or 804 miles from Sydney. However, the Great Barrier Reef then continues north up the Queensland coast, and one of the most popular cities from which to take tours to the Reef is Cairns. The driving distance from Sydney to Cairns is around 2700km.
