I wish some of you guys would cool it a little about Cairns. Appropriately for this forum, we used to call it Godzone country. It has been my home for many years. I am not there now and you guys are not making it easier to get back. If you are working for a good operator in Cairns there is really not much reason to move including airlines.
The weather is hot but not so much as Darwin, the women dress appropriately.....! A Great place.
From my experience in the area anyone who sticks it out long enough there will end up with a job, maybe in Torres Strait but that's OK too....for a while. The Aviation scene is very active, the women warm and the water inviting. I think I got them in the wrong order there somehow! The flying is quite good too.
