    The second we arrived at our new home that we are so grateful to have secured we instantly fell in love.
    We could only begin to imagine the memories this house is going to hold of us and the experiences we are about to experience.
    Full house tour will be uploaded shortly now that our house is finally furnished and feeling like home.

    Welcome to Cairns and the Tropical Far North🌴
    I felt at home here instantly after living in Brisbane for 20 years and currently live in Edge Hill. Machans Beach definitely a no-go zone for flying drones as it's very close to northern approach to Cairns International Airport. In fact, most of Cairns is affected by the location of the airport, which is why there are no tall buildings.
    Regarding Crocodiles you do get to know where they are especially if your into fishing. In winter it's more common to see them sunning themselves at the usual places if you know where to look. For instance there's the Mowbray Bridge on the Captain Cook Highway just before Port Douglas (Port) and if you look to the left the sand bank usually has one, though more common to see them in Winter. When I first got here back in 2014 there were a few instances of small Dogs being taken by Crocs at Kewarra Dog Beach and the beach between Palm Cove and Clifton Beach where you have water behind the beach. I haven't heard of anything lately though.
    With regards to FOOD Cairns is probably one of the best 'foodie' regions in Australia. Cairns is blessed with its abundant rainfall and locally produced tropical fruits and veg. As you'll soon notice Cairns is strongly influenced by Papua New Guinean, Pacific Island and Asian culture and a trip to Rusty's Markets in the City (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) is the best place to experience the energy and colour of a REAL food market. Not only that the close proximity of the Atherton Tablelands means we don't miss out on all the usual cooler climate fruits, vegetables and excellent dairy produce you'd expect in New Zealand or Tasmania. Best to combine the local dairy produce, milks, cheeses and chocolate with locally grown and roasted Coffee from the many Torrefazione located around the region.
    Anyway welcome to the region🌴🐠🍌🌞❤.

      It has been a incredible experience so far and looking forward to more in the future. At the moment we will be here for the next 12 months as our rental contract is for that and we will make sure of a decision closer to that date. There’s definitely more states I want to experience and see before buying although I believe Cairns has our hearts and will be the place we buy in after travelling. Absolutely! Fishing content is coming soon. We also have the channel Luke Falzon with fishing content
