Thinking of relocating to Port Douglas...
4 Comments
I am an expat from Philippines currently working in Port Douglas.
As an expat from Philippines currently living in Port Douglas seems nothing different from other places except during summers which seems very hard to adjust the extreme heat. Traffic is not so bad.
Not a lot for the kids to do there. Heat and humidity are a big factor (and rain and cyclones!). If you wanted somewhere more suitable for the kids I would suggest Cairns (about 68kms or 1 hour driving). You still obviously get the heat and humidity but at least there's things to do there. Port Douglas is just one big resort really with not many facilities......
Heat is not a problem. Sydney gets hotter. It's the humidity. If you're a bit of a princess it will break you. If you're resilient it won't. It only lasts a couple of months a year.
