Welcome back everyone! Godd.. Its been SO long!! So stoked to be back making videos! Life here in Cairns has certainly been an interesting adjustment! 😂🤪 Tag along on the first leg of the journey as we explore life in Cairns Australia 😊👊🏼
Wife and I moved a longtime ago from Sydney Eastern Suburbs beach front flat to beautiful Cairns, wear shorts the year round, use aircon 3 months of the year when hot, have weekends away at beautiful Palm Cove and Port Douglas, dine regularly at waterfront restaurants, no city traffic, homes cheap as chips (4b, 2 bath, db garage, fully airconned under $500K), rates about half, can do council, man we love it, but please keep it a secret!.
Do you have kids? I’m sure I’d love it but worried about kids growing up there - education and then careers when they grow up. Would have to escape no?
Heya scotty just want to say a massive thank you for your video I am moving to Australia from Ireland and I am trying to decide between cairns and darwin thanks to your video I am starting to lean more towards cairns now 😊
Hi Scotty, Cairns local, grew up in cairns & left late 20's to SE QLD. Bungalow isn't a very good area in cairns, very dodgy. I would say a great spot would be on the esplanade nearer to the airport, cairns north, edge hill, whitfield, freshwater & of course the northern beaches. I lived at edge hill right next to the botanical gardens, my favourite spot to be closs to town, but did become very popular with trendy cafes when I left with prices going up. I grew up at trinity beach & my mum worked at palm cove. I miss cairns, favourite place is port douglas, mossman gorge, all of the tablelands.
Hi Clare! Lovely to hear from you! Thanks for stopping by 😊👊🏼 Haha can totally agree, Bungalow was definitely a little dicy haha Recently moved back down to SEQ actually... It was a brief stint in TNQ, but hope to be back again sometime soon 😊 Thanks for the tips! All the best, Scotty 👍🏻
Hey Scotty, I just came across your vlog and really enjoyed watching. This is a part of the country that I've not yet visit myself, but probably I should the next time that I travel to Australia. Seems amazing. And honestly, you seem really cheerful. It put me in a good mood to watch this 😊
So glad you enjoyed the vlog! And thank you for the kind words! Legend 😊✨👊🏼 It’s definitely a special part of the country! So much to see and explore 🙌🏼
@@ScottyPass Thanks heaps, Scotty for taking your time to make that nice reply 😊. Yeah, I trust there's much to see and explore around Queensland. That seems to be somewhere worth a visit. Have only been further to the south, around NSW, which was great too. No complaints. Having parts of my family located there. So, I love watching stuff from Down Under in general and I just couldn't keep myself from giving you thumbs up and write a few lines. It makes me happy and to see stuff from Australia. It always does, well almost always. In the sense, that it sometimes makes me a little emotional too, as I'm not frequently there, due to living overseas. Well, I'm there too rarely, but sometimes wishing it wasn't so. Anyhow. Was fun to see the Kangaroos on the beach, that you filmed. That was quite a moment. Just amazing. Hope I ever get to see something like this myself in real. Thanks for sharing! And yeah, I loved that you let mom take part in your vlog as well. Enjoy your week! 🌞
We moved up from the Sunny Coast last year too! It's beautiful isn't it! So many people ask why we left the coast though, as though it is some sort of magical oasis haha
Agreed! As amazing as the coast is, it’s just so god damn busy now! 🫠😂Loved my time in Cairns! I’ve since hit the road to travel again but will be back again soon! 🌴🙌🏼✨
Hi Scotty, im about to embark on moving from Melbourne to Cairns. Currently looking into Cairns rental properties however it is quite limited. Can you upload an update on how you have adjusted to living in the tropics?
Hi guys! 👋🏼 Welcome to QLD! 😊 I've actually just moved (again 😝) back to Brisbane! But had a lovely time in Cairns for the 7 months I was there. Enjoy your travels! 👊🏼 Scotty
@@Ateone81 G'day Casey! It's definitely warmer in summer (and more humid) No doubt about that. I decided to move back for personal reasons 😊👊🏼 Have always enjoyed Cairns however and hope to be back sooner rather than later 🌴 Good luck with the move regardless, Scotty
The Sunshine Coast is subtropical verging on tropical itself , and has better beaches . Cairns of course has warmer winters and absolutely beautiful weather virtually all year round .
I m thinking of moving out of Melbourne. Don't know where to go n then I saw ur video, now I m scratching my head 😉😊😂. I should come to see u n CAIRNS too. Don't worry just to get some ideas n suggestions !
Hi Janaina! 👋🏼 Thanks for stopping by 😊 Weather is really humid in the summer. That's also when the wet season begins, so expect a tonne of rain (great for the waterfalls) 😊🌿
Just wondering, Scotty if you had the chance to live in Cairns again would you go? We are Victorians and are looking for somewhere smaller than the Gold Coast/Brisbane area but still has great schools and shopping etc.. Would you still say it's a great place to go to?
Hi Janelle, thanks so much for stopping by 😊👊🏼 So exciting that you’re considering a move! Short answer: I would definitely move back, but under different circumstances and I’d definitely be a little more picky in the suburbs I chose to live. Cairns is perfect if you’re looking for that coastal lifestyle, but don’t want the chaos of a bigger city. 👌🏼 I’d recommend spending a couple of weeks up there if you can, to get a feel for it. Drive around, experience the area and perhaps decide then if it’s something worth pursuing. Summer is intense, but doable 😊 Scotty
🙏Your both and all Aussies 🇦🇺 should be very proud to life in such spacy beautifull county 🇦🇺 I miss it since over 3 1/2 decades when i visited first and only one time💖it🇦🇺 Best wishes 🇹🇭🐘🏝🇨🇭 good luck stay safe and a Happy Mary Christmas 🌲 & Happy New Year too!🍀🙏🇦🇺
Some contradictory information here. I was told that Cairns's weather is not humid also regarding the 6 month in advance bond that is illegal at least in the Victoria State.

I want move too cairns Your kids move with you to cairns? If I get old have old ages place?
Melbourne too cold. Always need heating. I like hot place. Only ten days hot in a year haha
Do you have kids? I’m sure I’d love it but worried about kids growing up there - education and then careers when they grow up. Would have to escape no?
Thank you Scotty, perfect video for me whilst considering to move to a warmer part of Australia.
Anytime Austin! Glad you enjoyed it ☀️👊🏼 🌴

Thank you! It’s certainly a special part of the world! 🌴✨👌🏼
Yep looking at moving to trinity beach soon too hopefully .
I went up to Cairns for the Ironman earlier this year, i fell in love with the place, I'm planning to work there for a little while after i graduate.
Hey! Were you able to move there and find a job? I’m thinking about it too now
I plan to move to Cairns one day. 😊 I have to figure out how first. Steps etc
That’s awesome! It’s a beautiful place to live! 😊👊🏼🌴
@@ScottyPass oh yes I believe so 😊 is it always warm there? I’ll be coming from Canberra so pretty chilly down here.
Hi Scotty, im about to embark on moving from Melbourne to Cairns. Currently looking into Cairns rental properties however it is quite limited. Can you upload an update on how you have adjusted to living in the tropics?
You’re so brave and lucky! We’ve moved recently QLD as well and loving it!
Hi guys! 👋🏼 Welcome to QLD! 😊
I've actually just moved (again 😝) back to Brisbane! But had a lovely time in Cairns for the 7 months I was there. Enjoy your travels! 👊🏼 Scotty
@@ScottyPass oh what happened? Just trying to decide whether to move either Cairns or Brisbane myself.Is Cairns a lot hotter than Bris in summer?
@@Ateone81 G'day Casey! It's definitely warmer in summer (and more humid) No doubt about that. I decided to move back for personal reasons 😊👊🏼 Have always enjoyed Cairns however and hope to be back sooner rather than later 🌴 Good luck with the move regardless, Scotty

Absolutely guys! Always loved visiting, and it's even more exciting now I moved to the region! 🌿😊🙌🏼 Can't wait to explore some more! Scotty 👊🏼
2 years on. Have you found it easy to rebuild a social circle up there? Make friends/date etc
The Sunshine Coast is subtropical verging on tropical itself , and has better beaches . Cairns of course has warmer winters and absolutely beautiful weather virtually all year round .
Where was the second beach you stopped at?
Hi Ashton! 👋🏼 Grays Beach & Horseshoe Bay were the 2 beaches in Bowen 😊☀️🌴 They’re both right next door to each other 👊🏼
