OK, I’ve now seen @gomeztheband more than any band live, and after all these years these blokes are always amazing. Awesome reworking of classics (LOVED what they did with Get Miles) and some quality new stuff. Regretted not getting some Handbags tunes to takeaway.

Nearly 12 months after Cairns’ emergency messaging system failed spectacularly in the wake of Cyclone Jasper, looks like still nothing has been fixed.
Thankfully this is a false alarm

@Jenna_C_ @ottewellben Two weeks here in Cairns! Very excited. These guys are nearly locals they've performed here that often.

A chocolate teapot would be quite delicious if it were used for brewing matcha and you drank it quickly.

There are already independent audits of reef science. It's call "science".

[Nick Dametto - Mayor of Townsville @MayorDametto]

Today I stood with renowned marine scientist Dr. Peter Ridd calling for immediate action on the unnecessary red tape surrounding the GBR. We would like to see the Qld Gov conduct independent audits of reef science, which has been flawed for years.

Every now and then my “pun a day” calendar absolutely delivers 🪄🐶

Arisa was born in Cairns so I did this for the Post when she was selected for the Paris Olympics. What little champion.

[Harry Bruce @HarryBruceToons]

The mayor of Townsville is in a bit of strife after exaggerating his military service and uni qualifications.

@DenimAlley No, only in newspaper terms.

@paulmcau This is brilliant, and should be handed out on leaflets at the airport

No longer able to rent movies from Telstra’s streaming service without a separate set top box. Hey @Telstra, stop trying to make Fetch happen!

The day has finally arrived: the Great CD Extinction Event is currently underway at JB Hi Fi.

Hey @10NewsFirstQLD your mid-commercial news updates in Cairns are 💩. Top story tonight is apparently “a giant of Cairns business has died”. That’s it. No name, no details, no nothing. Regional Australia deserves a better televised news service. @ABCmediawatch

[Daniel Bateman @BatemanDan]

@JesseKuch @Translink_QLD I gave a hitchhiking nurse a lift home yesterday because her bus never showed up. No ‘real time update’ via the app or website (she was checking regularly). No warning, no nothing. This is why no one takes public transport in regional QLD.

The message is simple: don’t be a moron during The Big Wet. So many lives at risk - and not just these idiots - from stupid decisions.

Natural selection at its best. Also the reason our swift water team are so busy during the monsoon #cairns

[Dan Regan @DanRegan_Comedy]

I'm creating an "OnlyDans," where Dans get together to complain about being called "Dan the man, Daniel-san" and "Danny Boy" our whole lives.
