    Thanks so much for all the info and pics guys, so helpful. We have done heaps of research ourselves and it really does look like somewhere we could live, like some of you said we would defo be spending the odd weekend in Cairns. The most important thing for us that it is a safe place and has a community feel, and we love the heat! I think my daughter would be attending Cooktown state school so still need to find out a bit more info on that. We love the outdoor lifestyle, hence why we’re moving and I really do think that with it being a small community that your more likely to form close friendships unlike you would in a big city. Anyhow we should be hearing back in the next couple of weeks and then hopefully start the visa process. 

    Thanks for replying. Just been looking at a job in cooktown and was hoping to get a view on life there

    We went in the other direction with our dog and experienced no issues - in fact I think the journey was better for him than for us! We flew via a company and the flight was with emirates. Staff at both sides were fantastic, dogs fly in an air-conditioned and pressurised section of the cargo hold, last on the flight and first off, overnight stay at the pet handling facility in Dubai which is also air conditioned etc. Our puppy took it in his stride and seems completely unfazed by any of it

    It doesn't really answer your question and you might already know, but just wanted to flag that the process for taking your dog to Australia takes about 6-7 months. Rabies vaccination in UK, wait 3 weeks, blood test for Rabies antibodies in UK then if that's all good a 180 day waiting period commences before they can enter Australia (during which time a load of other stuff needs to happen).

    We've looked into it for future reference and feel reassured when reading reviews about the quarantine facilities in Melbourne and the reduced quarantine period required now (10 days). I spent some time googling it (As I'm sure you have too) and felt happier seeing the space the dogs get etc when they're there.

    Could you tell me who you used as I am thinking of moving back to the UK and need quotes for pet transport.
