Absolutely.

Im sure there are ppl whove lost their homes who'll want help and whom you can interview.

personally (although this sounds sadistic) id love to see 5 travellers battling a cyclone.

It's too current and newsy to pass up....

Would be a once in a lifetime experience. Isn't this what an adventure is all about? Go for it guys!

We're here! looking for things to do...We arrived yesterday and are staying in an awesome hostel called "Gilligans". It's a super fun atmosphere. We'd like to research some cool activities... any ideas?

Hi TJs,
This isn't a suggestion particular to Cairns (apologies) but - if you're interested in music with an Australian flavour, check out a group called Rivertribe. They use traditional Aboriginal instruments in a really innovative way that blends with more familiar instruments. I saw them perform at a Sunday market in Canberra once - they were great.

Thanks for the tip Letitia. I caught the sunrise at the promenade but I have yet to see the sunset over the water. We had intentions of bbqing but the rain turned our BBQ into a pizza party. It was fun all the same.
Thanks for the post!
