Oh, the young people of today. Just no ticker for the daily oldies wheelchair races along the Esplanade on the way to the Esplanande bingo hall (the only complex on the Esplande with the multi-storey carpark).

If you have visited there lately, it is a case of when your lucky numbers come up to be seen.

You're joking right???? Is there a social life for the YOUNG in Cairns! Although we are 'oldies' as you put it we have two sons one 21 and one 19 - our 19yr old didn't get back till 4.30am on Friday night after having yet another night out in the city with his YOUNG mates - and thats considered to be early he he!!!

You will be lost for choice - heres a few - Sohos, Tropos, Gilligans, Soul, Bar and Grill the Pier, Johnos, PJ O'Brians, Shenanigans, The Casino nightclub, these are just the tip of the iceberg loads more bars and clubs around the main city and Esplanade its pumping every night of the week

So, wld that be enough for you to socialise with the youngies

At 27 m8 you will have a field day just remember if you do get here to play it safe

Speak for yourself

Hows it goin? Bix does keep me up to date when he remembers dear of him - tis his age

Was hoping to meet you by the end of this month - is that still gonna be feasable? Have been planning a BIG BBQ in your honour Well, Bixies birthday too of course he he!!!

Good luck re the hse next week! Hope it happens this time - what a bummer!Why does house selling/buying in the UK never run smoothly! Pain in the ass innit! Usually so much easier over hear - done and dusted within 4 wks if all the checks etc are ok - easy peasy compared to over there!

CYA soon we hope (boy, I must be in a good mood today, well it is Australian Mothers Day)

Take care

............your sense of humour never fails to bemuse me

Whenever anybody mentions BINGO i always think of the UK in the late sixties when I was a wee girl - never played it myself but it was so popular in our small town back then! OOOHHH the 'swingin sixties' long live the Beatles - NOT!!!!

Keep up the good work!

I thought the nightlife was only open to 30+ year olds

Matty mate, you will like the nightlife.
What's good too is that it is in the main all pretty close together so it's easy to stagger from one venue to another.

Words of experience Bix???

My sons told me

Just wondering if hockey is big in Aus. Hubby plays hockey for his local team and would like to play in cairns (not the ice variety).

Going to call you Leslie from now on

GOOD CHOICE HCTS!!!

Cairns is a lovely place. The scenery there just makes you feel good too. I hope you and your family are very happy there! I'm really glad that you have reached a decision - you must feel relieved.

When I finally move to Cairns too, I might even see ya around!
Keep in touch,
