Oh god, I think that place was still there when I was in Byron just before xmas. Drunken backpackers with cockney accents walking towards there. No fanks missus! You were practically locals, what was their problem?

tl;dr Let it go Cliffy, sure people don't want to read any more of this.

Yes, as Bran mentioned in the other Cairns thread "Cairns surges ahead with 7 per cent median house value increase". Sounds fairly realistic, I had my place revalued last month, it's increased just over 8% from what I paid under 12 months ago. Pretty happy with that.

A cynical person could think that you coming into the thread just to poo poo Cairns, and then talk up where you are investing, could indicate self interest... but I'm sure that's not what you intended. That's the point. You just said "Adelaide is good because other people said. Cairns is bad...

How long did you spend reviewing my posts? Well done, I'm sure they will benefit from the years of experience in buying the large amount of houses that you have.

You're recommending Adelaide over Cairns based on some chatter you read on the forum, and saying maintenance & insurance is only an issue up North.

Hmm, just had a flashback - earlier in the evening, having dinner at the long tables, all very civilised. Fast forward to later in the night, backpackers dancing on the tables. Funny place.

Very worried, you might just have lots of fun ;) It was a funny place the 1st time I went there while on holidays.

Good on you, have fun. Don't go to the Woolshed whatever you do ;) Hope it's not too hot for you.

Righto. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.

Pretty much everywhere has that. You seemed to be insinuating that those who don't work in the 70,000 jobs you mentioned are carnies moving on to the next cashie job.

So lots of unemployed/pensioners/elderly/children. Not itinerant?

156,169 population (2011). That's a lot of itinerants(?).

Kinnon Bell on here is nice and helpful, could probably give you some info about up North.
