I’ve talked about Cairns, Australia, numerous times before on this blog, but I’m going to mention it again to plug my friend Steve Savage’s latest (ad)venture, Cairns Unlimited.
I spent six crazy months in Cairns, but I didn’t own a camera while I lived there, all I’ve got are really low-quality prints from a disposable camera and whatever other photos people gave me — like the bungy pics. It was during the days before the internet took off, so most of the information available for the area was cobbled together from word-of-mouth, brochures at tourist info centres or bus stations (if you could get a hold of them), and guidebooks. Basically, it was a major hassle compared to what you can research and reserve these days with a computer connected to the internet.
Steve and Maria packed up their lives in Madrid and shipped kit-and-caboodle to north Queenland to set up Cairns Unlimited, and are keeping a blog about their latest discoveries. Steve’s a native Queenslander who’s travelled around the world a few times, and Maria’s ready to leave inland Spanish life to set up shop by the tropical beaches of northeastern Australia. Together they’ve set up this company to promote the region through their portal and provide an online resource for the area’s attractions. If you’re headed in this direction (once you see pictures, you’ll see why it’s so popular) or you’re just curious about north Queensland, check out the site:
Cairns Unlimited is a registered Queensland business, a home grown enterprise, run by a small but dedicated team of proud Queenslanders. The massive resource that is Cairns Unlimited was developed in response to the very real demand for a genuine one-stop, comprehensive online guide to Cairns and surrounding areas, a site where visitors could research, plan and book every element of their Tropical North Queensland holiday!
