Tanks Arts Centre
Edge Hill, Australia

Former naval fuel tanks create a memorable setting for Cairns' contemporary cultural life. Their concrete structure and industrial character remain part of the experience, while a programme of music, visual art and events gives the precinct a thoroughly present-day purpose. Tank 4 offers a gallery visit, and live performances reward checking the calendar before travelling. The location beside the Botanic Gardens makes it easy to combine creative time with a leisurely exploration of tropical planting.
