Its kinda townish size... I'm not being funny, its about the size of a town. Maybe 4 or 5 proper shopping streets and cafes and food joints.

Its not a city, put it that way

Portsmith is the main industrial / factory area (if you can call it that) - mainly fish / seafood processing, plus ind. buildings / works etc.

The Espionade reminded me of Miami Beach a bit, but with a bit less latin music and dancers.

Seemed quite big for a jungle town, great nightlife if you are young too.

Was only there for 3 days but if you can cope with the Japanease/Chinese tourists and luvvyduby couples then you will be Ok.

Yes been to Cairns and loved it would even consider moving there. Nice bars and coffee shops and nice to wander around on a night.

Didn't see the lions mind but the locals did say that the humidity is worst in the 3 middle summer months when your clothes constantly need wringing and you just want it to finish.

But you can't have everything in life... .
