Cairns

Cairns was an okay place, but it was really all the things that you could go see near Cairns that made the place. I really didn't like the hostel we stayed in there - really big, lots of rules, deposits for everything, staff hated their jobs ... Seems to be the way things are run here on the east coast, and I don't really like it ... no more really cosy, small hostels, lack of atmosphere, companies begin treating you like a child along with the other, younger, 18-20 year old backpackers. Hope things improve as we head down towards Brisbane.
