Salaries in Cairns??
Hi,
Somebody I know has asked me to get some info for them. Her husband has been offered a job in Cairns via sponsership. The wage offered was in around the 85k AUD mark. I know nothing about Cairns and the cost of living there........Would this be considered a good wage there? - They have one child and one on the way. Any help would be greatly appreciated as they have to make a decision soon. Many thanks in advance.

Mind you, getting in to quite a routine with the kids now and school runs etc. Just need to sort out some coffee mornings soon!
My wife on the other hand has been working flat out though.
