If Tanks can get Bernard Fanning and Paul Dempsey, Port Douglas should be able to get at least a few similar artists. Have always been a fan but You Am I were very disappointing, they had no respect for the audience, it was obvious Tim Rogers didn’t want to be there.

As long as it’s not a washed up eighties band just collecting $$ Surely if the yacht club can get Paul Kelly we must be able to get someone decent. Hindley Street Country Club

Go back to where you came from

I mostly agree with the guy and defer to his extensive local knowledge. It is a major tourism location, so needs appropriate infrastructure, which includes places for people to live to support the tourists, conservation programs etc. and that requires power, reasonable access etc. However, the convenient satellite shots appear great at this level, but if you zoom in things are not quite as wonderful as they might seem. Planning could be much better and that could be the main impasse. Dare I say, that could or should include the type of businesses that operate in the area.

Lawrence good article. I can't still work out why people say oh you are from over the River. Banks and very respected government and business. But they want to show and share our back yard to their business and not support better services. You can't make this up.

Ann Marie Cains

The planning horse has bolted. It is what it is now with freehold landowners paying rates for services that seem to be purposefully clunky, counter productive to sustainability and not up to scratch. Is there a passive aggressive movement to get residents out of the Daintree? I think so.

Don't we have a local welder that can make one in stainless or aluminium, I'm happy to pitch in for a bit of the metal cost if there are some more takers. I love the idea of some art along the coast.

Glenise Sharp

Was so cool to see him up there, on guard, missed him today.

Macca Mc

Great news, now to get him back up there before a croc gets him

Skye Young

Guess he had too many beers!

Michael Randazzo

Get him back up there as a show of resilience

Christopher Saint

Best to wait for the post mortem results before anyone jumps to any conclusions.

Tony Janelle

Some people are simply party poopers!
