Tony,

Let me know if he is coming to Kuranda (just out of Cairns). There are 
no APRS services in Cairns and surrounds apart from mine for Kuranda. It 
has been down for a while but if someone is actually going to use it I 
will put it up again ;)

You might also wish to mention to him that there is an IRLP node in 
Cairns and normally one here as well although mine has had some problems 
lately which I am trying to sort out.

Howard, VK4BS
