Know something about Cairns and the far north that deserves an audience? A new opening, a hidden spot that’s ready for visitors, an event, a correction to one of our guides, or a yarn worth telling? This is the letterbox.

What we’re after

Local tips and hidden spots (if they can handle visitors), new openings and closures, events worth travelling for, corrections to anything we’ve got wrong, and photos of the region at its best. If you’re a tour operator with news, we’re happy to hear it too, just know that coverage is never paid and never guaranteed.

Send it through

We read everything, we fact-check before we publish anything, and if we use your story or photo we’ll credit you (or keep you anonymous if you’d rather).

Before you rely on this: we check every fact against primary sources before publishing and date what we write, but things on the ground change, sometimes the same day. Confirm opening hours, prices, closures and conditions with the operator or authority directly, and always follow official signage and safety advice. We publish in good faith but cannot accept liability for errors, omissions or changes after publication. Full terms are in our disclaimer.
