Police traced the call to a phone registered from a Hampton Park address.
Police charged the man with one count of use of a carriage service for a hoax threat.
Police led an operation after the call to determine whether it was a hoax, and the man later surrendered to police.
He appeared in the Cairns Magistrates’ Court last week.
