There's plenty of rainforest just south of Cairns too - Wooroonooran National Park contains the 2 highest mountains in Queensland, numerous rivers, waterfalls, swimming holes and some of the world's lushest and most ancient rainforests.
They park within a few yards of the reef; the tour my wife took included a guided tour with the marine biologist on board, who explained what they were seeing as they snorkelled past.
You certainly don't need a car in Sydney - just a parking nightmare as any big city is. Use public transport there.
