  1. Hello,

    Following up on my post where I sought comments on Cairns prior to my meeting with Cairns Mayor.

    A very successful meeting was held yesterday. I am delighted to report that the Mayor, and her senior staff, are determined to make Cairns RV friendly. Discussions coverd all the major issues from signage, RV drive through parking at shopping centres and attractions, dump points, water points, information centres with ample drive through RV parking, low cost camp spots and so on.

    I am naturally a sceptical sod when it comes to government, federal, state or local, and its intentions. However, yesterday I gained a very clear and strong impression that changes for the better will occur. I intend to maintain my interset in this matter.

    Regards

    Colin

    Thank you for your efforts Colin!

    I hope all resolves as per your perception,as Cairns certainly needs all the help it can get!

    As Trish and I will be returning to Cairns from time to time(we have relos there).It will be interesting to monitor any changes over time.

    Once again well done!

    Best wishes for the festive season and the new year.

  2. Hi Colin, My name is Tony,this is my first post so please bear with me.

    Trish & I have just spent several weeks in Cairns and (much to our annoyance), repeatedly felt we were not accepted

    as welcome guests,but more as though the Cairns business community thought they were doing us a favour by accepting

    our money! I suggest a tourist appreciation course would be beneficial to the non tourist community.It may help them

    see the benefit of a smile and a thank you to their bottom line!

    There is a need for a reasonable priced no frills caravan park; eg:- showgrounds or sports oval? I am aware that the

    showgrounds were going to be made available but were withdrawn for reasons unknown.This, after being advertised in

    various publications(I can guess what commercial caravan park owners may have said).

    Currently it is cheaper to stay on the tablelands and drive to Cairns than it is to pay Cairns caravan park prices

    and be told,quote- we are lucky to be there, Cairns that is, as they are usually fully booked-unquote!This was said at the end of the

    season, hate to try during high season.

    Hope these views are not too one eyed for the good lady mayor.

    GOOD LUCK

    Tony
