And, of course, a quick read of Bill Bryson's "In a Sunburned Country" is
recommended - but that's true even if your not going to Australia...

Uluru pronounced ooh-loo-roo

Too easy...lol

Now for Cairns...

Um, kinda hard for those who place emphasis on the R. It is silent for us in the know.

You will be close saying CANS with no letter getting special treatment.

I am currently around 65 miles west of Cairns.

Just trying to be helpful guy's.

One tip — in Australia, “Ayer’s Rock” is pronounced “Uluru”. I gave up trying to match the local pronunciation of “Cairns”.

Thanks for sharing your Australia travel plans! It sounds like an exciting trip, especially the opportunity to explore different locations and connect with local radio enthusiasts. Checking local clubs and events before arriving is a great way to meet people and learn about the radio community in each area.

For travelers planning a visit to Abu Dhabi, here is another travel resource: http://arabiansafariroyal.com/abu-dhabi-city-tour

Sounds like an exciting trip, Thaire! Sydney and Perth have active amateur radio communities, so checking local radio clubs for events and meetups would be worthwhile. If you're connecting through the UAE, Abu Dhabi airport luggage storage could also be useful during a layover. Safe travels and 73!
