Northern QLDers - I need your advice!!!

Yeah its definitely shorts and t-shirt weather during the day, but the night before last it was quite chilly and got down to 11 degrees here.

So I would still be bringing something for the chilly nights and mornings for the kids.

Sleeping bags just in general for the area, well, I used to recommend people always have a +6 degree bag because no matter where you go, they're usually the most versatile, but probably a +10 for this time of year would be fine. By adding a cotton or silk liner you can get an extra 5 degrees of warmth out of the bag, and if you want to be naughty and sleep in the all together, you can get another 1-2 degrees on top of that. We just have a summer doonah, no top sheet, and sleep in underwear - but we also have the fan on year round so perhaps we aren't the most normal people to be taking cues from lol.

We first arrived up here this time last year and its a bit warmer than then, so hopefully it stays that way! We're heading for a top of 28 today

I would also be suggesting to bring a raincoat/umbrella/slicker just in case too - with the rain coming into the warmer months up this way you just never know! Its also been kind of windy every now and then and the wind has had some bite to it, but I don't know if thats been the case in Cairns.
