I spent 6 months in that town 20 years ago, learning some English in The International School House. (Got good time, but my English wasn't better after...)

Anybody living there ?

I used to live there too, it would have grown a lot since you were there.

Heaven on earth, I miss Cairns (mumbling especially in the dead of winter in Victoria, brrrrr)

are you planning on going back there?

Why not. I'd be curious to see how much has changed the town.
I've great memories from there.

People really charming and I've made my first horse-riding on the tablelands.

The funny bit is that the guy who chose the horse (a white one !!!) for me was from Geneva.....

grin

and of course, hello to everyone !!!

Lived in Cairns early 60s and early 70s. My english was pretty good, but i did pick up the habit of ending sentences with AY. I think they killed Cairns in the early 80s and put something else there. Used to be the tallest building was 3 storeys and there was no traffic lights at all. And Kizzy, in the 60s and 70s the barbary coast was as rough as.

Let's all go back to Cairns! We could populate it so that it has to be the Capital of Queensland ... Nah, we wouldn't want to do that to Cairns.

Yeah, they are killing all the good places. Even Darwin is a shadow of what it used to be. IT dies when they closed the Cage Bar at Lims.
