I beg your pardon.

I will not stand by and have the lagoon full of European back packers besmirched in such a manner. Not on my watch.

He said beachfront not artificial lagoon full of piss and shit from aforementioned European backpackers [emoji6]

Having said that we are off again to this fine tropical City in February. Rydges Esplanade Resort..... bit of a hike to the lagoon I'm told

The Cock and Bull pub is over rated.

Just got back from FNQ,
Cairns has no appeal whatsoever,
I just use the place to get off the plane, go to Apex car rentals & bugger off up Captain Cook Highway to Port Douglas,
went to Daintree pub & had a croc wrap, rather tasty!
Crossed the river & saw my first ever Cassowaries in the wild, took 5 years but I did it!

Only thing to do in Cairns is the train/sky rail to/from Kuranda.

As a 1st time visitor to FNQ, I didnt mind Cairns.
But I did prefer it up in the Daintree.
Next time will probably stay Port Douglas or palm cove

Only reason we are doing 2 nights at the end before coming home.

I wasn't a fan of kuranda itself.

Poor man's Margaret River and that's another over rated joint
