Reporter Chris Calcino has summed up every suburb in Cairns - and don't get him started on Edge Hill.
Aeroglen
Inhabited exclusively by people with severe hearing impairment. Has a basically empty airport with decor that can only be stomached by people who watch Kath and Kim for style tips. The decay of its derelict mangrove boardwalk is only matched by some of the suburb's old Queenslanders. Close to Stratford, at least.
A taste of the prized decor at the Cairns Airport.
