Re: First weeks in Cairns
Bix, you need to update your suburb list to include Palm Cove & Smithfield in the no-go zones.:rofl:
WW From Cairns Post http://www.cairns.com.au/article/200...ocal-news.html CAIRNS drivers and petty criminals have built up $16.5 million in unpaid fines, giving the Far North one of the worst records for paying fines in the state. Figures obtained exclusively by The Cairns Post reveal that residents from Gordonvale to Ellis Beach have racked up 78,062 unpaid fines. The infringements have been referred to the State Penalties Enforcement Registry. The fine dodgers were surveyed by the Department of Justice and Attorney-General, covering seven postcodes taking in Gordonvale, White Rock, Edmonton, Cairns, Smithfield, Palm Cove and Kuranda. |

The missus told me about that. It seems the word "fine" was misinterpreted and they were all waiting to receive a cheque in the post :D She also told me about a couple of geezers who had their licence revoked and promptly left the court, jumped into their cars and drove off. |
Re: First weeks in Cairns
All happening my end today!!!! Friend just turned up with a fresh roll for us both for lunch.....then my sister rings to say her and my mum are on their way up :eek:
Friend leaves as she knows I want to spend some time with my sister before she flies to Oz on Monday...........I'm trying to have a quick tidy up before they arrive!!! My mum will be depressed now when I tell her hubby got the job and we're just waiting for a start date. Will be losing both daughters and grandchildren soon. Put my name on the party list.........make sure you have some loud rock music on!!! Beth x x :wub: |

I have noticed that Australian schools seem to develop the individual personality and character of the children far more. |
