How we reported this

Cairns has plenty to offer this weekend, whether you're looking to learn something new, connect with others, or enjoy some live music in a beautiful outdoor setting. We've rounded up a selection of happenings across the coming days to help you make the most of your time in the tropics.
For those interested in professional development and wellbeing, there are workshops on mental health support, data storytelling, and conflict resolution, alongside industry networking opportunities. If you're keen to explore ways that research, artificial intelligence, and creative problem-solving are shaping our world, there are sessions designed to expand your thinking in these areas.
Music lovers will find Boy and Bear taking the stage at Munro Martin Parklands, offering a great chance to catch a live performance in one of Cairns' lovely outdoor spaces. And if you're looking for community support or carer resources, Services Australia is offering drop-in assistance through the Wellways Cairns Carer Hub.
Whatever you're in the mood for, there's something here to suit you. Read on to find out more about what's happening.
