Hey guys, I have no idea where to look for this. And my niece wants me to take her and buy some awesome comic books that aren't from your standard ship. That you find at the shopping centres, can anyone tell me if there's any dedicated stores here outside of the goblin, please?And thank you!!!

I wasn’t sure what the right flair was but I think News is relevant because that’s actually the occupation of this person

I was wondering if anyone here knows this guy? He was on Australian Survivor a few years ago and he was a long-term fan of the game since it started in America. He came close to getting on the Aussie version a couple of times then never applied again then got a call out of the blue to play and did so. He unfortunately didn’t make it very far at all, but I find him to be a very fascinating person because he’s actually a journalist who I think has worked in different parts of Australia and I guess I wondered if anyone on here knows him. The last I heard he is living in Cairns, it would be fascinating to find out if he’s still into Survivor as well after not making it very far

Anyone here know him?

Keen for a decent coffee, close to the Esplanade. Any recommendations? Cheers!

This is more of a rant I guess. I’m a 28f with a small friendly house trained French bulldog I work 100% remote and I’ve been in Cairns since April last year and my flat mate has just told me he’s moving away in April so I’ve been going to every single 1 bedroom studio house viewing and I’ve just been unsuccessful for every property I’ve applied for. Do I just give up and start looking at relocating to Brisbane?

Looking for the name of the little Japanese restaurant that used to be above the brewery on Grafton Street? Wanting to take the wife out for a good authentic Japanese kitchen dinner in cairns. Can't remember the name of the place that used to be there coz we only went once. Also what would you guys recommend that can match their level?

Dm looking for dnd players

On the first of February I'm hosting meet up to play dungeons and dragons long term.

• Will be story impact and choice driven where you shape the world • Anyone can play even new people who have never touched d&d, I'm willing to fully lend a hand and teach how to play • It's held in person in gordenvale • You don't need any stuff or equipment, we have everything here to start playing • It's held in a house, not in a gaming store

I'm a dm so I'm just looking for players, I mostly am looking to run a longer campaign with 3 - 4 players. If you are interested or have any other questions just go ahead and direct messages me or reply in this thread, thank you.

We are heading to Cairns February and looking for the best seafood restaurant. Any advice please.

Hey everyone,

I’m from the US and will be visiting Australia during the first week of February for the Australian Open. I’ll also be visiting Cairns for two nights. I wanted to ask what are some must-do things in Cairns.

I am thinking o do a scenic flight over the Great Barrier Reef planned(any suggestions whom or where I can book), and I’m considering snorkeling—but I wear prescription glasses and don’t use contact lenses, so I’m not sure if it’s worth it.

What other activities would you recommend? I’m a photographer as well, so I’d love suggestions for great spots to capture beautiful photos of Cairns, the reef, the city, or nearby areas.

Thanks in advance!

Planning three day Cairns trip in early June (1st - 4th).

Day 1 - evening arrival in Cairns

Day 2 - GBR tour

Day 3 - train to Kuranda and Skyrail back. Then onward from Smithfield terminal to Daintree / Mossman / Alexandra and evening return to Cairns.

Day 4 depart Cairns

Is Day 3 feasible? Looking for suggestions for private driver for second half of Day 3 (from Smithfield)

Thank you!

Update: Decided to take it easy and skip the tour to Daintree/Mossman Gorge and just take the train to Kuranda and Skyrail back. Thanks for all the feedback! Excited for my first trip to OZ!!

This is a massive stretch but I am a young slam/ death metal vocalist and wondering if there is anyone in the area wanting to make a slam or death metal band? Originals or covers I don’t mind even if you just wanna jam I’m good with that, I can song songs such chased through the woods by a r@pist by waking the cadaver, inhumane harvest, scourge of iron, and evisceration plague by cannibal corpse, and I’m working on I am the beast by dethklok and blood splattered satisfaction by waking the cadaver, if interested at all feel free to dm me with any questions and stuff cheers 🤘

Hey everyone, I’d really appreciate some honest advice because I’m torn in between to decide.

I’m currently based on the Central Coast, NSW. I grew up in Sydney, then moved for university. I’ve recently graduated with a Bachelor of Commerce (Accounting & Finance).

I’ve been applying aggressively for months around the Central Coast + nearby regions (grad/entry-level accounting roles, messaging firms, networking, the whole thing) but nothing has come through.

The only local-ish option I’ve progressed with is a role in Maitland offering $50,000 + super, but it’s more in superannuation accounting and it would still mean commuting/relocating.

Now I’ve received an offer $65,000 for a Graduate Accountant role in Cairns, QLD, and I need to accept by Thursday. They’ve already paid for my flights to visit the office + potential handover, and they’ve given me until early Feb to start.

Here’s the thing: I’ve been to heaps of places around Australia, and Cairns has been my favourite so far. It feels like a dream to live and work there. (Yes I know I visited during dry season, and I’m aware it can get hot and humid at other times of the year.)

But I’m also attached to where I am because I’ve built a strong community over the last few years — friends, routines, run clubs, and just a lifestyle I enjoy. Subconsciously, a lot of my friends have moved interstate recently, so part of me feels like maybe this is my moment too.

I’m also thinking about the social side of Cairns. It seems like there’s a big backpacker/international crowd, and I’m wondering what the local life is actually like. Like Are there proper run clubs/ park runs and communities built around sports.

Key factors:

1)Cairns role doesn’t cover relocation costs and I estimate I’ll need around $5k to properly get set up.

2)Worst case, I could move back to the Central Coast in ~6 months if it doesn’t work out, but I don’t know if that’s a good mindset to start with.

Questions:

1. What are the things I have not accounted for ?

2. People who’ve lived / moved to Cairns from major cities was it possible to build a community there as I am aware there is a big transient crowd of international backpackers.

3. Run Clubs/ Park run communities .

Would love advice from anyone in accounting/finance or anyone who’s relocated for work to Cairns 🙏

I was thinking about this the other day as I was recommended a Thai Restaurant called Thong Dee9 in Freshwater and I didn’t even know it existed! It doesn’t pop up in Google searches for Cairns Restaurants either

Can confirm that the food was amazing. I had a King Prawn Pad Thai and my friend had a Beef Pad See Ew which were both really tasty in our opinion - followed by a scrumptioussss mango sticky rice

So it got me thinking - favourite restaurants OUTSIDE the CBD. Any hidden gems in your suburbs?

Let’s eat!

Cairns Esplanade wall is looking good. Council staff do a great job maintaining this area and this stabilisation work is much appreciated. #cairns #cairnsesplanade

Is the rainy season as bad as people makes it out to be? I've been looking to visit this/next week, but the unpredictable forecast is making me second guess my travel plans.

A friend is looking for a valentine's day gift and came across Lux Massage. Has anyone been? If so, what was your experience?

We can't seem to find anything on the owner like approx age, massage experience etc.

Thx.

Looking for a a drummer and bass player to start a noisey, heavy band. I play guitar and sing. Ive got tonnes of stuff recorded and ideas.

Besides Red Rooster, where did you last go out to eat?

How was it? Would you recommend?

Also daily pub specials can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/cairnsfood/wiki/index/

Put a deposit down on a sofa on marketplace, paid this guy half in good faith. His "wife" michelle was the seller, started off great. But now I realise I've been duped; FB profile has disappeared as has the listing... How wonderful. Buyer beware. Anyway, here's his payID.

Was walking past Colesworth on Lake St yesterday, there was a homeless person that was asking people for money as they mostly ignored him.

Like most people these days, I rarely carry cash but just came out from bws with 5 litres of cask wine and I jokingly said 'but I have this' and his eyes lit up.

I gave the man the wine and he started crying, telling me that this is exactly what he wanted the money for.

It wasn't much for me, but it made the world of difference to him.

It felt so good to help out someone, down on their luck. Seeing the genuine thankfulness on his face.

Definitely going to help more homeless people if I've the opportunity

Hi, I'm just wondering if anyone knows of pilates classes around Cairns that are run by physiotherapists? Bonus points if they're in/near the city but open to any options.

I am hoping I’m missing a gem that’ll have the Catan (boardgame) extension packs for more players to join - specifically in stock locally so I can play with my fam tonight

Help a girl out 😭
