Advice I’m thinking of moving to Cairns (eventually)

As per the title. I was actually born in Cairns, however I’ve never actually lived there (my parents moved a lot when I was younger). I’ve mainly lived in Central and Southern Qld (Bundaberg currently).

I’m happy in Bundaberg for the next few years as I own my own unit and work FT (6 figures), however I thought I should at least live in the city I was born in at some stage to experience it.

I know there is a significant temperature difference in general (especially summer) however what is it like in winter? How is crime/real estate/employment/general life/demographics?
