Cairns Holiday Lodge Survives Yasi by:SueWebd

The morning of February 3, 2011 was a truly a memorable day for most of Australia

. On this day, the worst cyclone ever to hit Australian shores makes its landfall at Mission Beach, just 138 kilometers from Cairns. Cairns, was lucky enough to sustain no major damage as preparations were effectively and warnings were sent out earlier. But still, being that near to a category 5 cyclone will take a miracle for you and your property to survive if left behind during evacuation. Around 30,000 people were forced to evacuate to safety. This number included patients from both the Cairns Private and Base Hospitals, which were immediately airlifted to Brisbane upon the SMS advice sent out by the NEWS (National Emergency Warning System). Now, what is left for those who have evacuated Cairns is to hope and pray that they still have something to return to.

Call it luck or chance, but some structures made it through that scale of a cyclone. Luckily, most of Cairns major establishments and spots remained intact. Basically, their reputation as the 4th tourist destination in Australia has nothing to worry about. One of the lucky ones, the Cairns Holiday Lodge, a three star budget hotel was able to remain intact despite it all.

Cairns Holiday Lodge is the perfect place to spend your vacation in Cairns if on a budget. Aside from the fact that it is located very close to both the domestic and international airports, it is also the perfect place to stay in if you want to experience the great Australian holiday.
