Thanks Bix

At least we know we can get some bikes now that are cheap enough won't bother bringing them.

Kids will need bigger though they are wee men now they will need at least 26" wheels, but thanks for looking.

Re: First weeks in Cairns
 

Sorry no.

3% of Cairns populace.
There is a library I think, and um, there is a library I think.



White Rock community characteristics are different from the broader Cairns population in the following ways.

• Younger population
• Higher than average proportion of the population is Indigenous (more Aboriginal people)
• Higher than average proportion of the population speaks a language other than English at home
• Higher than average proportion of one-parent families
• High levels of ownership, and low levels of ownership
• Lower than average costs of housing
• Lower than average levels of education, but higher than average proportion of the population is currently enrolled in primary school
• Higher than average proportion of the workforce travels to work by car as the driver

Key concerns that affect local people include;

• Youth issues
• Individual and community health
• Access to services and facilities, including arts and cultural development, and transport
• Poor quality urban design, which affects mobility/ physical accessibility around the area
