is finding rental in cairns as hard as else where?? on real estate it seems there are loads of rental??

My mum and Dad came over 2 weeks ago, they had loads to choose from and were out of my apartment within the week ! ( Do you think it was something I said !!!)

They got a really good beach front one at Clifton Beach for 320 a week. apparently a lot of the holiday rentals can't rent them out at the moment so they are renting these fully furnished units out at residential prices. You will have no problem. We came over in August and again were out of the backpackers in about a week and have a really nice permanent rental

Good luck !, hope to meet you soon.

Wondered why you hadn't answered.
