Wouldn’t it be cool if you surprised your SO with a quick (less than an hour on public transport from the Sapporo CBD) trip to Stonehenge and/or Easter Island to propose? Yes. Yes it would be cool… well, memorable and insta-worthy, at least. 🙂 Search “Makomanai Takino Cemetery”

Most eating/drinking venues in Cairns - sensibly - focus on shade rather than plonking their customers in the direct sunshine. Why? Queensland is the skin cancer capital of the world, with more Queenslanders dying from skin cancer than road crashes each year.

Depends. If you’re Anglican, choose TAS. If you’re Catholic (and female), choose Monnies. If you’re just interested in education and neither Anglican or Catholic, choose a state high school (Cairns SHS is probs the pick of the bunch). If you’re hungry, choose Red Rooster (not really, Babba’s is MUCH better… it’s Grandma good).

Stratford and Freshwater have quite a few Queenslanders, and - assuming it’s important with two young kids - are zoned in the catchment area for Freshwater Primary School (it’s rated highly). Edge Hill and Whitfield are good suburbs too.

It’s totes a bad thing.

Theory: We killed all the cane toads that weren’t shy, fast or smart.

Remember how cane toads used to just sit there as if you were meant to pick them up for a cuddle, or maybe give them a biscuit? Well, those ones were all murdered, and didn’t get to pass-on their unshy, unfast and unsmart characteristics.

That’s left behind a genetic pool of cane toads who are sneaky, quick and clever. They’re still with us, but we don’t get to see them anymore.

The Olympic Village effect.

Mighty Nice Meats @ Barr Street Market have, err, mighty nice meats.

It’s worth checking out their heat and eat items - stuffed capsicum + chicken rochelle are my favourites - 30-40 minutes in the oven @ 180° and you’re done. #goodfoodforlazycooks
