Thanks Kitehard.

Have had a few calls re the Cairns area all suggesting Yorkys as the closest and best spot. Guess I will just "Rent A Wreck" so I can drive there at will.

I hired several cars while in Europe and managed to completely trash a brand new Ford Mondeo. Serves the dickheads at Hertz for renting me one to drive around the Amalfi Coast. They should have given me a micro car. The drivers there are just nuts, the roads are badly congetsted and VERY NARROW not to mention the thousands of Lambretta and Vespa fiends. No wonder Italy produces the best Bike Riders. A three year old Italian boy's first images are of the traffic flying by through the perspex windshield of his dad's motor scooter while he sits precariously perched on his dad's knee. They are insane.

I left the car parked in Sorrento for several days and it just deteriorated further each day. Front and rear ended and side swiped by a truck. Completely rooted. I had to get the guards and bumpers wired on with Zip ties to drive it back to Milan.

So Rent a Wreck it will be for me in Cairns!!!!
