Report by John

In November 2014, my wife and I took a trip to Australia (Sydney, Gold Coast, Brisbane and Cairns). Cairns was the fourth and final destination of our trip.

We took flight CX146 to depart for Cairns in the morning

Departing from Cairns

We arrived in Cairns after flying for two hours and thirty minunes. Our bags were the only ones unloaded in Cairns. This was because CX146 is an international flight from Brisbane to Hong Kong with a stop in Cairns, and all the passengers except us were flying from Brisbane to Hong Kong.

The only luggage to be unloaded

We were staying in the Cairns Harbour Lights hotel. It is a nice hotel and we had a great sea view from our room.

Our first pinball location is the Leisure Island entertainment centre at Stockland shopping mall.  It took us around 15 minutes to get there by bus.

Arriving at Stockland shopping mall

It was not easy to locate the Leisure Island entertainment centre since it was not shown on the directory of the shopping mall. Finally, we located it somewhere near the cinema.

There was a single pinball at the far end of the entertainment centre.

The pinball

The cost per game was only AUD1 and the replay score was set to the very low value of 5,000,000. It was not difficult for me to get a few replays.

However, the pinball was in poor condition.  So I only played two games, and stayed there for less than 30 minutes.
