Moved here from the UK 10 years ago- best decision we ever made. The locals are friendly & welcoming. There are lots of natural FREE attractions, such as lakes & rainforest AND close to Cairns & an international & domestic airport.
FNQ gets hot & sticky in summer, but Atherton is 3 to 5 degrees cooler than Cairns, plus less humid.
It does get drizzle for 2- 3 months from April to June, but that's why it's SO green!
There is a Big W & Target Country, plus some great locally owned stores that go above & beyond when it comes to pricing & service. Plus FREE parking.
A great place to bring up a family, everything is within walking distance & the crime rate is very low.
We LOVE this place!
