Having been a local of the beautiful city of Cairns for more than a decade, I have developed a deep knowledge of the entire Far North Queensland region along with a passion to share its many attributes with visitors. My long and successful career in the travel and tourism industry has given me the perfect foundation to provide guests with a truly memorable stay. Because I’m so familiar with all the attractions, entertainment, shopping and dining opportunities Cairns offers, I’m able to provide a wealth of recommendations and assist guests to discover this wonderful area in exactly the way they want to. Along with many years in corporate and leisure travel, I’ve spent the last four years working for an operator specializing in the Great Barrier Reef. As an expert on one of our greatest assets and an avid scuba diver myself, I’m only too happy to share my advice and experience in this area.
