We are located 20km (12 miles) north of Cairns CBD. It takes 5 mins to drive to Palm Cove, with a further 5 sandy beaches within an 8 minute drive. The Great Barrier Reef is only a short cruise away for some of the best scuba diving. There are many attractions worth visiting in and around Cairns; we can arrange enough tourist information to keep you busy for ages. This link gives a great idea of the main attractions available for tourists: http://www.partner.viator.com Or you may just choose to enjoy the weather and relax and read books, swim, or play Golf at the local course; the choice is yours!

We are Tony and Sharyn and we may sometimes travel with 2 other adult family members if they can manage to line up holidays with us. We have had the opportunity of living in England (Dorset) for 3 years, Germany for 2 years and have travelled extensively throughout Europe, North America and Asia. I love to snow ski and play golf, whilst Sharyn who is a semi-retired ESL instructor enjoys sightseeing, shopping, sewing, charity work and playing squash. We enjoy experiencing new cultures, and especially love interesting/tasty food!

We have now completed 10 exchanges visiting France, Spain, Canada, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Taiwan and even Australia! We have had positive experiences with every exchange and we will consider all offers. We prefer not to have responsibility for any pets during our exchanges.

We are open to non-simultaneous exchange offers if we can utilise our part of the exchange at a later date. Feel free to submit any proposals for consideration.

We also yearn for another "White Christmas' with Ski possibilities and currently are contemplating possible exchanges to the Northern Hemisphere during December 2013 to February 2014.
