Question
hi,
  My friend and i are going to Cairns or Brisbane depending on the weather. We were wondering if Cairns would be warmer considering it is more North.  Is there a city out going life style there at night? thank you for your time

Answer
G'day Alex,
          The weather in Cairns will be a lot warmer than Brisbane during winter. The winter is actually Cairns peak season time, because during summer the weather is very hot and also the stingers are out during summer.

Cairns is fairly quiet, and I would not say it has an out going lifestlye compared to Brisbane.  The town of Airlie beach in the Whitsundays is beautiful, and has lot of action at night. I would visit Cairns, but if you have time, drop in to Airlie Beach, you will love it.

Feel free to conatct me anytime if you need more assistance.

Regards,
Frank

I have lived in Brisbane all my life (53 years). I am very proud of our city and the Sunshine State of Queensland. I am happy to help in any way possible. Queensland is a very humid and hot place in Summer, which makes it great for outdoor fun.

Experience

I have a great love and knowledge of Brisbane and the surrounding areas. I holiday on the Sunshine Coast every year, and visit the Gold Coast numerous times during the year for work. We love to dine out, and can recommend many places to try in Brisbane and the Coasts.
