Cairns

I wouldn’t mind moving to Cairns if my man is not over it!

I’ve been to Cairns twice to visit my boyfriend, who was working on a project in Cairns. The first time was for Australia Day long weekend and we went to Kuranda, the highlands and the remote places like Windy Farms and such (I forgot details). It was amazing.

I went there again for the second time because my boyfriend was feeling crap, and I’m there to give him a taste of home (read: to play wife). This time I just sat at home cos he is out to work but the serenity of the place and the natural beauty gave me so much peace.

Besides, Cairns at this time is waaaay warmer than Brisbane!

I have lived in Cairns for the last 21 years of my life (the only 21 years of my life) and unless you are into the beach, being tanned, and drinking it is a shit place to be. If you are different you are ostricised, looked down upon and cast aside. It is incredibly hard to make friends with people unless you drive a ute, play football and a re racist. I can’t stand living in this place. The only thing it is good for is the beach, which I hate.

A good place to access Northern Queensland. North to Port Douglas. South to Townsville and Airlie Beach. Daintree Rainforest not far away.

I swim like a rock, but this didn’t stop me from diving in the barrier reef. With Suba gear, a guild and no common sense away I went for a trip of a life time. The one thing that gets you is the lack of sound. I never ‘heard’ the Barracuda swim up behind me, I only saw it when i turned around and saw it starring at me. HELLO! What a great time I had, fun, sun, and wonderful friendly people who speak english!

I want to go to Australia to do some surfing and see some kangaroo’s and koala bears! They are the cutest things ever! The ocean looks incredible!
