Hi we arrived in cairns 5 weeks ago loving It so far. We have rented an apartment In trinity beach for now. It's beautiful and everything we thought it would be. The weather has been quite wet which is quite out of the ordinary apparently for this time of year but saying that 1/2 hour after the rain stops it's glorious sunbathing weather :-) that is all I can offer at the moment as we have only just arrived! Hoping the summer isn't going to be as hard as I think it is but am sure we will acclimatise soon (I say hopefully) Good luck with your move.
