Never one to be dramatic, but as Corporal Hicks called out to Private Hudson, when they were deep in the Aliens' nest on Planet LV436...."Hudson, WE ARE LEAVING!" ...the plan being to take off and nuke the site from space...
Well, Mrs Fitz, and I, Corporal Hicks, are leaving Cairns for Melbourne. Last work date 11 December (work advised today)...Furniture uplift to the Mothership on 19 December, driving South on 22 December. The apartment goes up for rent from 22 December...and we need good tenants pretty fast. The Cairns Pavilions management here will be organising the details and will be the contact point here for anyone interested. I will supply their phone number.
It is a nice, modern...8 year old 3 bedroom 2 bathroom apartment with balcony and a large store-room (in terms of a very large walk in robe in the third bedroom). The master bedroom is large with an ensuite, large mirrored built in wardrobes,the second bedroom is small, with large built in wardrobe, the third bedroom is large and it's position in regards to the front door means it could be sublet. We are on the third floor (with a lift), there is one designated totally undercover car space downstairs and room for a second car in the Visitors car park if one is clever (I know about this and can advise). I have lived in Cairns in houses and units over 25 years, and this is the coolest quietest place I've lived so we are not selling it but rather renting it.It has no expansive views from the balcony, but the outlook from the bedrooms is all tall tress. Its very well designed so that there is a central atrium within each of the blocks that enables some cooling where all else in Cairns is sweating. the apartment faces North so all the Tropical Heat from sunlight is gone by 2pm.
There are also 4 split system Daikin air conditioners, 3x bedroom, one for lounge dining) and ceiling fans.
The place is in good condition and will be rented unfurnished (unless someone wishes to include some of our stuff). The rent expected and similar to others will be around $360-400/week, and it is 2 minute walk to Stockland, Woolworths, Coles and Cairns' 2 best Asian Groceries, as well as buses.
The service from the managers in keeping the external areas very clean and beautiful is excellent. There is a large swimming pool.
There is a good modern electric stove, a good clothes dryer, and ample space. It is on the third floor and there is a lift up from the car park.
We have a number of nice plants and if any prospective tenants wish them to stay, they can; otherwise I will bring them to TCC. The only ones I need to sell for a small amount in their pots will be the Chinese Lucky Jade (Money Plants) as it is not acceptable to give away 'money' in the Chinese Tradition of them.
