I am also going to be staying in Cairns (though just for the 13th and 14th, so only one night), and am trying to find a reasonable spot for observation (just eclipse glasses though, as I will be unable to take my scope) within reasonable walking distance of the town (don't drive, and even if I did, it would not be worth paying the price of car hire in a major tourist town when I would only be using it for about four hours.)
Even a public viewing event would be fine, just as long as it is somewhere with reasonable view of the sun for that time of year (i.e. no mountains in the way)
