        "question": "Are there direct flights from Cairns to Australia?",

Other non‑stop destinations include Darwin, Perth and regional Queensland cities."

        "question": "Do I need a visa to travel from Cairns to Australia?",
        "answer": "U.S. citizens visiting Australia for a short tourist stay typically need an Electronic Travel Authority (ETA), which is an electronic visa-like authorization. The ETA can be applied for online and is required before boarding your flight. Always check current entry requirements before you travel, as rules can change."
