Cairns was a stunning little city about 50 years ago. Then someone decided to make it 'better' and do tourism. It's an utter shocker. Everything destroyed that was once beautiful. In fact, that goes for Mossman, Port Douglas and all the beaches from Cairns to those desinations as well. This was, not long ago, fairly pristine, certainly Mossman Gorge was simply glorious. Utterly hideous now with the bus loads of totally disinterested tourists 'on tour' and the garbage they now call a harbour in Cairns. Horrible. Never going back. Did my head in seeing the wholesale destruction in the name of making gratuitous dollars.
I like Gleeson, he is hilarious, I love a bit of dark humour and really hate to be a buzz kill but is there seriously anything funny about the dead reef and the fact that we are loosing one of our seven natural wonders of the world? A shame your kids won't have a reef to laugh about. Bit tastless Tom...
I know this is supposed to be sarcastic. But I live in cairns and, well... It's all quite true. The only good thing Cairns is a place for is snake-like businessmen from down south to own a shop up here and rip people off.
The quality was fine the first go around I still laughed my ass off the first time as much as the second! So it didn't matter to me! I absolutely love this guy!
We have lived in Cairns for 10 years and I do agree with Gleeson on most of it. My sister recently here from NSW, so we went on Skyrail and after 5 minutes she said 'how long does this last' - totally unimpressed. She did other trips too, Port Douglas, the 'live' reef. Well the upshot of her visit was 'seen it once' - twice would be like watching paint dry.
As a Victorian, as Southern winter starts to bite and energy heating costs go through the roof, we start to fantasise about life in warm, beautiful tropical paradises up north, like Cairns. I thought I might one day get there. But, forget it now. My illusions have all been shattered. Ah well, better put on my woollen beanie hat and scarf and gloves. Looks like more rain and the temperature is falling. Gonna be another cold one tonight... No Backpackers come here to be picked up for a quick lay. Too bloody cold and hard...
Annemarie May - It’s beautiful here. Port Douglas over-rated. Palm Cove is gorgeous. This video is just for a laugh. You should come here. I’m from Victoria, and have now been here for 14 years. I moved back to Vic last year for family, I only lasted 6 months and now I’m back in Cairns and love it even more. 💜
Annemarie May I live on the Sunshine Coast and it has it all, beaches, mountains, ticks all the boxes.....aside from those negatives he spoke of, North Queensland has some of the most beautiful rainforests, tropical fruits, blue water and reef that is second to none, yes there are crocs and stingers and hot weather but it’s so beautiful, the reef will regenerate and you can’t help but appreciate the beauty. where I live ticks all the boxes as well but unfortunately is unaffordable to live and has developed into a very clicky place, I loved living up north and I wouldn’t cross it off your list, you just have to get used to the heat :)
I'm from Melbourne and I must say that the Daintree is beautiful and well worth visiting. Cairns ain't so bad, it just doesn't have a good beach to draw in heaps of tourists.
He's not funny like the idiot abroad . I'm a local and take it as a joke . If anyone really thinks this is a shithole then you need help and moving to a padded cell along with this fake twat .
I live in cairns and i can confirm the sweaty armpit part
I live in Cairns aswell
I love Cairns but yeah you take a shower on Monday, Friday you still ain’t dry
I also live in Cairns and can confirm it is a tropical shit hole. This is a very accurate review.
Best holiday place in the world. Beautiful weather.
Hes bloody right, it is a dump of a place.
All 43 of Cairn's local population disliked this video lol
Lol people who say lol are gay
76 n0w
I live in cairns and I'm watching like this😂🤣😂
I’m a cairns local and I love this
Nicky Bennett same lol
Im from Cairns. Its all true lol.
I would love to be there
Same lol
Oh you're from a shithole!
Cairns has beds for 5000 backpackers most live in vans an crap in the flower beds on the esplanade
Guess they havent noticed the toilets and showers on the esplanade.....dickhead backpackers
Cheap fertiliser.
@@rae-rae4507 The toilets rarely work. Plus, the council can't be bothered to pay for fertiliser anyway.
I don't think I've ever heard a local from Cairns say it is not a shit hole.
Accurate video, I'm stuck here.
Kurt Bell Same, I could be in Wollongong with my friends but I’m stuck here rip.
IM LITERALLY MOVING TOMORROW WHOHOO
Cairns is still amazing. The nature is incredible.
Surely this was reported to add more well deserved insults to the world renowned composting toilet that is Cairns.
Scared to see how many people in the comments live here, and scary to see that he actually was near my neighbourhood, LMAO
not a backpacker, didn't use a condom :D

>thinking port Douglass is good fullstop
EDAN EW PORT DOUGLASS IS FUCKING SHIT BYE CUNTS
where's the one about sydney and coffs harbour D:
Dude707LoL I’m definitely waiting for a Sydney one
Do one on Coffs. Went out with a Sheila from there once, that place is devolving
Is a Sheila name of the lady, or is that a word to describe a female from Coffs? ... lol
Bloody marvellous! So refreshing!
Can you do "go away Edinburgh" one day? Ta.
You gotta do Invercargill in New Zealand. Anti depressant capital of the world.

He's drawing attention to it at least mate. He could be doing things behind the scenes to help.
I was speaking with my uncle about this because he lives in Cairns. He said that this was very accurate to what Cairns is like.
I live in cairns and when im on a boat i always yell at the slower boats 😂
Puttin Cairns on the map mate! I'll check it out, just for a root in a really big swimming pool, sounds like a good experience
Jesuit arrived in Sydney and by looking at these comments I should get my arse home, Aus is lost.
Do Frankston. The big pottie down south
Port Douglas is overrated. Palm Cove is my favourite place in Cairns.
I love Cairns and I’m originally from Victoria 😀
you must be from adelaide
Go to bankstown in sydney thats the best tourist place
fivedockboyz Cheap flight to Lebanon
At least you can get good coffee in Bankstown.
Joseph. You bitchin' or braggin'?
Lol
I know this is supposed to be sarcastic.
But I live in cairns and, well... It's all quite true.

I know that its a joke but c'mon marijuana isn't a gateway to meth
That's gold. I'm local but laughing hard
Don’t know why so many people come to cairns it’s a shit whole unless you live here better then Rockhampton though

Yep lived there 15 years this clip is accurate.. funny but 100% right
The quality was fine the first go around I still laughed my ass off the first time as much as the second! So it didn't matter to me! I absolutely love this guy!
I agree - Tom is a very under rated comedian.. I grew up in Cairns and everything he said here is funny cause its true..
Hhehe I love it hehe we watched you filming this episode by the lagoon 😂😂😂awesome job !!:)

Why isn't that boat called Sailor Swift?
Yeah pretty accurate except I've never seen a condom in the lagoon lmao

Ipswich is becoming more modern now they've really done it up

Why is no one talking about the damn peeping sound in front of some house to keep away homeless people trying to sleep there?
Can I request you do a Go Away about Airlie Beach. It would make so many ppl including me happy :)

But his stand up is crap.
Bollocks
Australia is so good and diverse it's almost pathetic
Why its pathetic?
@@jonimaar__2023 basically what I wrote makes no sense
Says alot for local tourism
You really gotta do Alice Springs!
That might be racist.
No shit though... That Skyrail thing is pretty awesome.
did he
enjoy his time?
Hi I was born and raised in Cairns.
Cool story hansel
Chloe. So I guess you speak with a rising intonation at the end of each sentence?
I thought it was great and I live in cairns and if people can't take a joke well to bad
Why did you re-upload this?
There was a technical glitch. We re-uploaded so it was better quality. No changes to the video.
I'm from Melbourne and I must say that the Daintree is beautiful and well worth visiting. Cairns ain't so bad, it just doesn't have a good beach to draw in heaps of tourists.
anythings better than the shithole known as melbourne
Yes it does it just filled with bloody jellyfish
LJY08 the beaches are literally 10 minutes drive away.
It has great beaches. You just cant swim unywhete unless youre a nutcase.
Are you some sort of tree hugger? Get back to Melbourne.
So Good Coffee, so you will plunge to your death in melbourne
Living in Cairns, we got a comedian.. ok.. better than those farking clowns from Brisbane 😎😎
I like cairns and it is the best so....
I live here this is accurate
Hahaha do Tully, 2 hours south of Cairns full of the bananas, backpackers and best river for rafting in Australia
*was captain cook doing a nazi salute..*
It was the Roman salute
Many years ago that same statue was painted as an aboriginal.
Comment section is just people defending cairns. Its a joke you muppets.
I live here and in no way would I defend it - it is a very ordinary place to live, my opinion of course.
gotta say, I like calling the people of cairns, "the cairns scrubs". only been living here for 5 years
Todd the captain was funnier than Tom.
... it's still not as bad as Melbourne
Can you tell me why pls? I'm going to Melbourne this July
hahaha please do a Sydney one.
Best cairns video
This was the funniest one yet
Gotta love cairns ,, my home ,,
Omg this is gold
He’s like an Australian Karl Pilkington
He's not funny like the idiot abroad . I'm a local and take it as a joke . If anyone really thinks this is a shithole then you need help and moving to a padded cell along with this fake twat .
So funny and so true...
