This is one of the most mis-pronounced city names. (by Americans) Its correct pronunciation is "kairnz". (you can listen to the correct pronunciation at miriam-websters dictionary online)
It is commonly mis-pronounced as "cans", due to the way it sounds when Australians say it. However, Australians pronounce the first part of "Cairns" the same way they would pronounce "care", meaning the "r" is not silent. Therefore "cans" as pronunciation is incorrect.
It's one syllable, but pronounced like care-nz run together
