It cost $25.50!<br />That's an outrageous price for a town trying to foster tourism. I see people walking at the edge of the road to the airport constantly, it's ridiculous. Why does the bike track stop before the airport? Rates here are outrageous compared to Perth, where does the money go?Ken Svaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-54028517406884523992015-01-31T19:58:19.263+10:002015-01-31T19:58:19.263+10:00Your next Bob.

He went on to say that people didn't walk to the airport in Brisbane, so why should they do it in Cairns ? Apart from the fact that the Brisbane airport is way out of town, there is also the well known fact that Brisbane airport has an excellent train service straight into the CBD.

I wouldn't have believed he could say something so stupid and would have blamed it on "biased reporting".<br /><br />The part that cracked me up - he says that Cairns Council engineering staff and the airport had been "working hard" to come up with a solution.<br /><br />I can see the movie now. <br /><br />Airport engineer: "We think a couple big signs telling pedestrians to bugger off works for us".<br /><br />Council engineer: "Yup, works for us.
