Why do people insist on pronouncing it "caans" when there is quite obviously an 'R" in its name and should be pronounced Cairns.

You mean the lagoon.

No it isn't.

No, I haven't witnessed that. Why not ? Why can't I witness that ? It's prejudice or racial or something not to allow me to witness that.

The police are busy taking photographic evidence and measurements.....I mean details......and will arrest next year.

Why doesn't everyone in Cairns move to Port Douglas. I keep hearing how nice it is?

Or Palm Cove (we got married there), so much nicer, and not so many weirdos, bums backpackers, dropouts and ex federal government employees.

The ones that stay live in Kuranda.
