Ahh crap, looks like we'll just have to go to both and have a look.
Yeah, winter there is warmer than summer here We only have enough time to spend 1 week in each I think, which is a shame. Slave to the needle and all that
What about facilities, jobs, housing etc in each town? Anyone know? Is the landscape around each town very different? Are there lots of hills around Townsville? (Other half is a keen mountain biker). Are there lots of creeks near Townsville?
I've been to Cairns for about half an hour, and never to Townsville, so I'm in the dark here!
Personally, if it was work you're after, T-ville is the place to be. If it's outdoors you're after... Cairns is the place to be.
I live in Cairns and wouldn't live anywhere else... as my friend put it - Townsville is for people who want to find work easily and Cairns (the unemployment capital of Australia) is for people who love the outdoors.
But work isn't hard to find - you just have to look
The city of cairns is a bit of a hole but I hate all city type living.Yeah, winter there is warmer than summer here We only have enough time to spend 1 week in each I think, which is a shame. Slave to the needle and all that

LOL, that's pretty harsh mate, I can work outdoors and still spend at least 3-4 nights a week herping or hunting, without getting anywhere near cairns. Last weekend managed to fit in arid zone for vens and endemic gecks, as well as wet tropics for scrubbies, adders, jungles, with a bit of shooting in between, heading hunting for fri-sun this week and back to the rainforest for monday tuesday and my gecko/boyds fix . Before you mention the reef, yes I dive....near townsville....
I don't have anything against cairns, was actually born there.......both have their good points and bad. (oh, found cassowary dung last trip to wallaman falls..... :lol
