Australia, for all the dumb things we have done to embarrass ourselves, is definitely one of the most beautiful countries to visit and live in. Hopefully Bitcoin can eventually fix all the stupidity.

Nearly every capital city has it's only bitcoin group and meetup. Some states also have multiple regional meetups, cause we're so damn big and spread apart.

Bitcoin Brisbane runs the show in the state of QLD. In terms of Cairns, im not personally familiar with a local bitcoin meetup there, but there might be!

One thing Cairns definitely has going for it is that it hosts the QLD leg of the Bitcoin Bush Bash. (https://bitcoinbushbash.info/)

The Bush Bash is a right of passage for an Aussie Bitcoiner. Weekend get together in some regional/country town.

There are some coastal meetups around Australia too. It's where 99% of the population live. There is the Surf Coast meetup, which is in Victoria. (https://www.meetup.com/surfcoastbitcoin/)

Hope to see you down under again one year!
