It’s that gorgeous time of the year in FNQ - when we switch off the aircon and - in some extreme cases - decrease the speed of the ceiling fans. Our hearts benefit from this decrease in temperature almost as much as our wallets do, knowing that we’ve made it through another wet season, and we’ve got about three months of not sweating at midnight ahead of us. It’s the time of year we gravitate to the Esplanade for a plethora of events, including the much loved IRONMAN Cairns. It’s the time of year we voluntarily venture outdoors for afternoon entertainment, BBQs and pool parties. It’s the time of year that we (occasionally) slip on some furry slippers. It’s the time of year locals quote our fearless leader, and say “How good is Cairns?”
