RE: Going To Cairns, Any Suggestions?

Trinity Beach is beatiful - we stayed in an apartment next to where you'll be last August. It's at least 20mins drive out of Cairns proper and the Airport, but my (family oriented) experience was that this was a good thing <img src="http://cdn-www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/graphics/smilies...

RE: F1 2010: Malaysian Grand Prix

What's gone wrong with F1 - this race was actually interesting, and there was even overtaking. Serves me right - I'd given up on F1 for the last few years, but now new teams and all sorts of dramas are making it a little fun, as long as the tracks are designed for overtaking.

RE: Disabled Canadian Attacked In Australia

Yes, they will be charged as youths. However, currently in NSW there is no provision for children to be tried as adults.

It was a despicable assault, and our youth justice system isn't a cakewalk either, and I woudl expect that they will cop a strong sentence if proven guilty.
