Default How difficult is it to get work around Cairns?

Hi All,

House is now up for sale, were planning to move to Cairns. Pretty much willing to try anything, though I'd rather not do anything tourism related if poss.

Also anyone know how long the housing boom there is expected to last?.

cheers,
65kk

The $65million question

Some experts said the housing boom would finish 2 years ago!

It'll end when it ends.....

But I think that it has probably slowed by now, and should even out. Whether it will drop is another question.

Todays paper had two separate reports on property. One said it was expected to boom again
Another said it was it was over, page 21 QLD Courier Mail.

The only report I believe is the one that said that the weather will get warmer, page 5.

Thank you for your replies. I find it difficult to find information specific to Cairns regarding housing prices.

I'm hoping to get a "mature apprentice" job and retrain asap.

cheers,

Hi Mandy,

I'm a packaging/display designer, not too many of those required in Cairns I think?
