I wonder.

That is the colour scheme used by WOW Sight N Sound.

It could explain why the local electrical retailers have been having major promotional sales lately. That way they reduce the opening impact of the store if everybody has just bought new entertainment gear.

Not sure but I think IKEA is all blue with the IKEA being yellow, correct me if I'm wrong (as if I need to ask). Cairns is not big enough to take that size of store, bloody hell imagine coming over the top on the skyrail and all you could see is a bloody big Ikea store..........instead of the wonderful view

:curse:

It would be shocking.

No, but the top two guys are ex DSE employees.
Area manager and the store manager that first employed him.

Re: Buying furniture in Cairns.

Thanks for the info guys glad I dont need to bring a big container full I am looking forward to going out and buying.

We now have a case officer and have just been asked to get our meds done so our dream of being there in January looks to be getting closer.
