This week’s G'day Port Douglas & Daintree shares Douglas Shire Mayor Michael Kerr’s story.

Michael talks about his journey and why he chose the Douglas region to settle down.

From helping at the local pet shelter, to managing a coffee shop, Michael has been all over the world and can't think of a better place than Port Douglas.

From the blissful weather to the strong community, he loves every second here where the reef meets the rainforest.

G’day Port Douglas & Daintree’ is a series of videos featuring Douglas Shire locals sharing their lives and what inspires them to live in this beautiful part of the world.
