Haydon and I are flying to
Cairns on 20 May and returning 27 May (honeymoon before wedding) and are wondering if there is anywhere safe in
Adelaide that we can leave the wagon while we are gone. Also what are the must see things in
Cairns and suggestions for a place to hire a car while we are there? Thanks in advance for any information.

There is a mob in
Adelaide that we use called Airport Security
Parking. They are based on
Richmond Rd
Richmond and their phone number is 8351 7033.
We use them whenever we go to
Adelaide and are flying out. You need to be there 1 hour before the flight and they drop you at the Airport and pick you up when you return. Cost I think was around $16 per day. Car is in locked wharehouse and under cover.
Good value and peace of mind for me.

There is long term
parking available at the
Adelaide Airport. Very popular and
well patronised. Link

Can't help with
Adelaide car storage, But...
Places up here to visit/do from here (
Cairns):
- Esplanade
- Many good restaurants & Cafes in CBD area
-
Kuranda Rail & Skyrail trip (I can get the
kuranda rail trip for $5 instead of $35 thru locals deal & and have done this for non-locals before)
- Day trip to the Reef - Ocean spirit is a good one - worth the $$'s
-
Port Douglas - great 1hr drive up the coast.
-
Cape Tribulation - further up from
Port Douglas, over the
daintree river "rainforest meets the reef
- Mosman
gorge - on the way from
Port Douglas to Cape Trib
- Cruisey drive up around the tablelands, if time permits
As far as a hirecar goes, best deals are usually with the main companies.
There are numerous older car
places but they are usually only $5-10 cheaper for a heap of S##t, and some operators are shady. Try this website for the dates you are here.

Thanks for all your help and we will certainly follow up closer to the due date. Hope the weather is going to be nice for us. Currently raining here and we even had a power outage last night for an hour. We got a holiday deal when we purchased our shed (pay 3 nights get 3 nights free) that had to be used by July 1. We get married on 14 July hence the honeymoon before the wedding. 2nd marriage for both and been together 11 years. 5 kids between us (girl 16, girl 18, boy 21, boy 22, girl 23) Hope everyone has a great weekend. Ta Judy.

Your question helped me as we are looking for somewhere to store our vehicle in
Adelaide for 6 weeks, I knew about the Secure
parking atthe airport but not the warehouse one.
As for car hire in
Cairns, go for the main hire firms as we hired an old banger and it broke down before we got to
Port Douglas!
What to see around
Cairns? On honeymoon, maybe just your hotel room!
cheers
