Hi Janet,
Cairns like rest of Australia is 240 volts US is 110 volts.
SO if your appliance is shown as multi voltage ie 110 - 240 then all you
will need is an adapter plug to go from US two round pin horizontally in
line TO the Australian 3 pin.
Lots of chargers are multi voltage so you may indeed be OK for the voltage
situation
Have a look at this site for the plug shape

If you cant buy an adaptor in US then you should be able to buy one in
Cairns (at least at the airport if not the town).regards

Will I need an electricity adapter in Cairns and at Ayers Rock to plug in
my battery charger for the rechargeable batteries for my camera? The
charger is United States-flavor electric.

The CAA in Canada sells adapters and transformers (not needed much any more)
for all types of plugs. I would think that the AAA in the States would sell
them too. Don't cost much. Australia uses the J plug.
