Sad part is some of it true. Even sadder nothgn wil get get done abut it, past trying.<br /><br />Hi,<br /><br />We have been in Cairns for the past 4 days and unless you do a tour of some kind (Great Barrier Reef and/Daintree Rainforest, Kuranda) then you might as well stay home. Cairns is possibly the worst and most overrated town we've ever visited. The streets, shops, restaurants and bars are run down and filled with trashy drunk people. Walking down the Main Street (from their 1990s mall toward the esplanade) the stench of alcohol can be smelled on the sidewalks along with the BO of backpackers.<br /><br />The esplanade is yet another overrated swimming pool, since you can't swim in the ocean, everyone bathes in this tub of piss, alcohol, and STD infested waters. I would rather walk through a snake infested rainforest than dip my fat toe in the esplanade.<br /><br />The restaurants are so exuberantly expensive that you'd think that Gordon Ramsey was in the kitchen making your meal. We settled on a Greek restaurant that was quite good, but three simple appetizers alone ran us over $40+ so after one night of eating out, we bought groceries and cooked in our hotel.<br /><br />We didn't go to the botanical gardens but if it's anything like the esplanade then you're in for a big disappointment.<br /><br />The ONLY reason to go to cairns is because of its convenient location to the airport, it's a good starting point for excursions such as the Great Barrier Reef, the Daintree Rainforest and Kuranda. Even then, don't expect to be wowed by the natural scenery. It's beautiful, but nothing to write home about. Our tour took us to the inner reef and outer reef (and the staff and crew were exceptional) but the reef itself was bleached by the sun and much of the corals were dead (global warming), the sunny beach of Palm Cove is nice to look at for like 5 minutes (no better than any other beach in the world, except watch out for saltwater crocodiles that can creep up at any time- especially at night, or jelly fish or any other killer creature lurking in and around the water). The best part about Kuranda was holding a Koala. Mostly to a tourist trap selling overpriced cheap souvenirs and equally expensive but mediocre food. The Daintree rainforest, Mossman gorge and Cape Tripulation are also worth a visit if you venture all the way out to Queensland but Brazil has more beautiful rainforests, gorges and waterfalls. And PCH in Caifornia and the US West Coast has much more stunning views than the scenic highway from Cairns to Port Douglas. We have yet to be wowed by anything here. The price you will pay for the "quality" of what you will get is not worth it.<br /><br />However, if you ARE coming to Cairns then you're best to take the tours or at the very least rent a car and tour around on your own. Although, If you are into paying too much for food, walking around beer scented sidewalks, STD infested bars and nightclubs (Cairns ha the highest STD rate of any city in Australia), trashy tattoos, red-faces and BO smells, then Cairns will be your dream destination.<br /><br />https://www.tripadvisor.com.au/ShowTopic-g255069-i482-k9811153-Things_to_see_in_Cairns_city-Cairns_Cairns_Region_Queensland.htmlAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-28553377374317382062016-08-27T18:23:56.520+10:002016-08-27T18:23:56.520+10:00fuck the council I'm going for the big bucks c...fuck the council I'm going for the big bucks ceo of airport and or dominoes Smithfield? i don't need the public scrutiny of this site so there !shanghainoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3182703408922632531.post-25578510186499382542016-08-26T20:47:49.632+10:002016-08-26T20:47:49.632+10:00Yes get rid of Kelly Reaston and the puppy planner...Yes get rid of Kelly Reaston and the puppy planners with no spine below her .
