Cairns – Clean, broad streets and does not feel crowded even if it is the 14th largest city in Australia. The climate at this time of the year (winter) is perfect if a little humid at times. A good place to relax and do nothing. The main reason for my stopping here was to get the 15,000km service done on my car and a Wheel Alignment, Balance and Rotate.
