Hi Gabriel, Lily from Adelaide here. Just wondering if we need to book for the workshops or just turn up on the day. Don’t want to miss out on anything! lol

I’m a rural music teacher who is attending Cairns Music Education Conference on the same weekend (which my school is paying for) and I will be attending that during the day, will it be possible to attend night-time performances etc without having to purchase a pass for the entire weekend, or can I just purchase entry at the door?
I’m paying extra to the school to get to Cairns a day earlier than needed so I can do the Low Isles Uke tour (MUCHO EXCITEMENT!)
Lucky you! Yes each event will be ticketed separately and some will be free to attend to you’ll be fine! See you in a few months!
Where can I find song and TAB for World Record Attempt?
Hello!
We’ll be releasing this year’s song within the next month!
I’m wanting to know a camp /van. Park near cairns that allows pets. Also do I have to register for the world record and where? Thankyou. Gwynnyth
This is what I found on the net:
BILLABONG CARAVAN PARK
Captain Cook Highway, Clifton Beach
Phone (07) 4055 3737 / Fax (07) 4059 1165
Dogs are welcome as long as they are always on a lead and under control, droppings to be cleaned up. $20 bond and a $3 park registration fee applies. Cats are not allowed and only some birds, always kept on cages, are welcome.
Thank you. I’ll phone tomorrow. Cheers
