Tropic Weekender: Your insider guide to the best events this weekend


It's going to be a hot weekend ahead, with maximum temps of 33C on both Saturday and Sunday.

It might be worth checking out some indoor (and nicely air-conditioned) options this weekend, whether it's a movie at the cinemas or a visit to Cairns Regional Gallery.

Live music fans are spoilt for choice on Saturday night, with Passenger playing the Parklands and Skegss at the Grand Hotel.

Enjoy!
