Cairns has some beautiful rain forest and beaches, the locals are really laid back and friendly for the most part. The one thing to keep in mind this is a small area, so it is over policed beyond belief to raise obvious much needed revenue. Be warned drive like Miss Daisy at all times, do not let your guard down for even a second as their are cameras and police everywhere!

Cairns feels like a police state, I moved back to the country were there is more freedom to move without having to look over my shoulder for a predatory cop on every corner
