Moody Creek: Your Guide to this Cairns Creek!
Moody Creek is a waterway in Cairns that runs through the Cairns West suburbs of Kanimbla, Manoora, Mooroobool and Westcourt. Indeed it crosses Mulgrave Road just near the well known Cazaly’s Club.
Moody Creek originates as a freshwater stream out of the Cairns foothills. However, as the creek approaches Mulgrave Road and flows south, it becomes increasingly salty.
The creek continues to flow south until it meets Chinaman Creek just north of Ray Jones Drive. However, after crossing under Ray Jones Drive the water from both creeks discharges into Trinity Inlet.
Fishers and other recreational users of the creek should be very careful when they proceed downstream, as salt water crocodiles are known to frequent the area. Locals and visitors alike are reminded to be croc safe and take care in or near Moody Creek: www.robpyne.com.au/moody-creek/

Cairns Post Building Heritage Call
zhlédnutí 62Před 7 měsíci
The Cairns Post Building should be heritage listed according to local Councillor Rob Pyne.

    Why do people vote conservative? a question I continue to ask, and I do ask and the most frequent or regular answer is I always have. to which I reply NO WHY? Because I feel it is the right thing to do I feel save in thier hands. OK what do they stand for what is their Mantra for example Communism every thing is run by the state or, Socialism, capitalism with goverment having some control, please give me your understanding of Toryism? they generaly can't answer but occasionally I get the Edmund Blake 1729 to 1797 reply using the underpinning virtue and manners in society alongside religeous institutions for the good of the State. ie If it aint broken dont mend, that is because people dont know and vote tribal we will continue as we are and continue fighting between our selves which is a war between the center left and the far right for what ever that means.

    Socialism is an absolutely disgusting ideology. In the end only a very few win under that. Everyone else suffers. Coming from Europe is ready to see where Australians go wrong when voting. Socialism is not about equality or a fair go, it's about the opposite.

    'They called it paradise, I don't know why. They call some place paradise, and kis it goodbye' (The Eagles). I grew up here in the late 60's and early 70's, and every time I think of these lyrics, I think of my hometown. Because that is exactly what happened to Cairns.
