What wonderfully well written article,thankyou

We just spent a week in Cairns. The humidity is a killer as you describe so well.

This is a wonderfully accurate and delightfully descriptive account of Townsville and the Deep North. I know, I live here, in Ingham, for my sins. Note I say - I live here - I don't come from here. As a 'lifestyle destination' - Just forget about it!

I have no desire to travel in Queensland. The humidity in my place of residence in NSW is more than I can bear.

Interesting piece, though.

It takes a week or two to become acclimatized to higher temperature and humidity.

Air conditioning is a mixed blessing as stepping outside is a shock to the system.

In my experience the grotty people and parts of Australia exist all over. Just some variation in quantity and quality.

And if you are mug enough to own a pet don't compound the error by traveling with it.
