Anyone know how to stop mould build up in their car, I work fifo so a month away at a time and leave my car for a month and fnq can be super humid, so I often come back to a layer of mouldy dust on my seats, I’ve tried dehumidifying tubs with the absorbent pellets but they haven’t done much, any ideas?

The masthead amplifier on the aerial of our block of units fell apart last week. Body corporate dragging its feet getting it fixed so I thought I should get an indoor antenna as I'm sick of waiting. Live in Jensen Street, Manoora. Can anyone recommend a good indoor TV antenna please that doesn't cost hundreds of dollars? Thanks.

Hi

I’m in Cairns and wanting to buy a block and put a liveable shed on it. Has anyone done it. What was your approximate costs of the shed? I know it varies depending on what you have. Any help/ideas would be appreciated.

Hi everyone!
I'm a 30 year old Canadian who is hoping to come to Cairns (or somewhere nearby) within the next year to work. I also might bring along a couple friends of mine who are in their early twenties.

I have a background in hospitality and old age care. I also have some certifications/experience in alternative therapy modalities (breathwork, psychedelic therapy etc.) but I'm not sure what the culture in Australia is around stuff like that. My two friends are just starting their working lives and don't have very lengthy resumes yet. I think all three of us are open to a wide variety of jobs but naturally we would lean toward jobs that pay decently well and allow us to step away and do trips around Aus/NZ/SE Asia.

I've been hearing mixed things about the Cairns area with regards to finding work and accommodation. Some posts I find say it should be no problem to find what we need, others say it will take months. What is the truth of the matter?

I'd also love to hear any general thoughts or advice you can give about living in Cairns, or Australia in general!

What's better, Cairns summer with rain or without?

For anyone who has applied for an AU passport recently, who long did it take? Just wondering if the fast track option is necessary.

I have a medicinal cannabis prescription in the UK and have brought the script with me, how would I go about getting some asap in cairns?

just to make u/daveypump happy

Hey everyone,

So my partner and I (both in our 20s) are flying into Cairns next week and staying in Port Douglas for a week. Looks like the weather’s going to be pretty miserable, with a cyclone possibly hitting (who knew booking a holiday in the tropics during wet season would mean… wet weather?!).

We’ve never experienced anything close to a cyclone before, so just wondering – should we be worried? Is it something that’ll have us stuck in the hotel all week, or more of a “rainy day” vibe where we can still get out and do stuff? If it’s going to be more indoor activities, any suggestions on what to do? We’ve got a hire car and haven’t planned anything specific yet, other than wanting to check out the Daintree.

TIA

I’m in the unfortunate situation that my phone broke while travelling here in Australia. I’m currently in Cairns. Is there a place that’s better to get a new iPhone? I currently have an iPhone 14, but I won’t mind upgrading. I prefer the pro max models - anyone got any tips? Thanks in advance.

Love them. But please shut the fuck up. Four nights, and some baritone motherfucker, croaking at stupid decibels, keeps at it outside my window. Shut the fuck up. She ain't coming, get over it. Pick a new spot near some other persons bedroom.

Looking at moving to Kuranda, got offered work in cairns and am looking to relocate. Can I get honest opinions on what the people and lifestyle is like

Edit: thanks for everyone’s opinions. I’m okay with long commute I’ve lived in regional Australia most of my life. I’m just hoping the town doesn’t have a problem with new comers, I do like to get involved in local community classes and worked in the community services Industry so love to get to know the community

Cyclone coming. Expect southern media to overdramatise and milk this as usual by the weekend.

Hello! Wondering- people who frequent Europe from Cairns- what route have you taken? Sky scanner is telling me to go Alliance to Darwin, Darwin to Singapore via Singapore Air and then Qantas to London. Flying direct Cairns to Singapore is insanely expensive 😵‍💫 I also refuse to go south to go north 😂 just can’t do it haha

Where can I get a proper one? Please and thank you.

Where did you last go out to eat?

How was it? Would you recommend?

My friend is a Cabin crew and she is landing in Cairns for the first time and has 1 day layover there. I live in Singapore and have never been to Cairns. What are some must try snacks/food items that she could bring over?

I have a massive sweet tooth but would be definitely open to try anything super unique and niche.

Anyone who has Airbnb suggestions that they personally found great (and maybe somewhat near the hospital)? Will be staying for about 3weeks in late Feb for surgery and hotels are quite expensive but caravans are also not very comfortable for post-surgery.
