Where in Cairns?

Hi all I want to get an idea of where most IIS,ers will be and who is where so I can figure where to be to meet as many of my IIS friends as possible.

So I have started this poll to find the greatest gathering of us. I think that Jen and jjj should attract a good number.

Will land the 13th at 11:20am in Cairns then I'm driving around. Not sure where to go yet. Will depend on the weather.

In the poll I meant to ask where are you viewing.

Warren,

You need a 'none of the above' option. I'll be a Adams Dam and some of my friends will be at Bustard Downs, 8km from Mt Carbine. If a cyclone or tropical low are throwing too much cloud onto the coast I'll go even further west - I've got the vehicle and the gear to do it and after driving 2,500km I'm not going to let a few hundred km of dirt road stop me. However they are predicting a late start to the wet and so I don't expect to use plan B.

I don't know where I'll be observing from..
If hotel room has a view to South-East, it will be from that window.
Otherwise, somewhere along highway between Palm Cove and Thala Beach.. depends on local conditions (crowd)

No idea yet but I've got overly expensive accommodation in the CBD and a hire car so all options are open. I'd like to view it with other Ice'ers however. My default viewing area would be Trinity beach I guess.

We won't know where we will be viewing, until the day before.
Odille and I will be scouting for a site a couple of days before hand.

You guys should PM your mobile #. More eyes on the ground and more likely to have somebody under clear skies on the day.

Humayun and I will be driving up from Sydney in the fully-kitted Landrover. We'll be camping at the best possible location within 4x4 reach. I was thinking of bringing the offroad camper, but I want to be able to go as far afield as possible without dragging it around. We'll be looking for location, not people. After the event though... we're in!
