Pronunciation of Cairns in Cambridge, Ontario, Canada
Cairns - My family is from Northern Ireland, and currently lives in Canada, and we pronounce Cairns with the 'r'. Basically it rhymes with "hair", with an 'n' on the end.
The pronounciation you have on your website is more typical for Australia, I believe.
