More of a reflection on the situation rather than the people at Scott Street. When we arrived they said they had stopped doing this and had let you know. I think they took pity on us as it was pissing down that day and we looked a bit stressed given we had walked in the rain from the bus terminal. Hopefully they got paid for this.

Cairns Airport and railway station: storage and getting to the city
The airport's own luggage storage room is inside the Car Park Service Kiosk, publicly accessible and open 6am to 6pm every day. It accepts items up to 2m x 2m x 2m, so even bulky dive bags or oversized cases fit. The two terminals, T1 for international and T2 for domestic, are linked by a covered walkway taking around five minutes, so the desk stays reachable whichever terminal you arrive at. Getting into town is cheap and straightforward on Route 100, the public bus running every 30 minutes from 4am to 10:30pm daily at 50¢ each way. Private shuttles also meet flights and run straight into the CBD. Cairns Railway Station itself is right on the edge of the Cairns Central shopping complex and about five minutes on foot from the Esplanade. It's the terminus for the North Coast line from Brisbane and the Tablelands line to the Atherton Tableland, and it's also where the Kuranda Scenic Railway and Savannahlander tourist trains depart. The Lake Street bus terminal, between Shields and Aplin Streets, is the CBD's main public transport hub if you're switching to local routes.
Rail luggage rules and assistance
Queensland Rail Travel sets checked-luggage limits of 20kg per piece and under 180 linear centimetres, while the carry-on allowance is one bag up to 20kg and 23cm x 34cm x 48cm to fit under a seat or in the overhead racks. Trolleys at Cairns Railway Station help with the heavier cases, though some require a coin to unlock. If you're on the Kuranda Scenic Railway, staff will carry small hand-held luggage or mobility aids up to 7kg onto the train for you.
Bag rules and cloakrooms at Cairns attractions and venues
The Cairns Art Gallery checks large bags and backpacks at reception. The Cairns Convention Centre prohibits backpacks of any size and restricts bags to 30cm x 30cm in seated areas and 15cm x 20cm in standing floor areas. The Cairns Performing Arts Centre requires all bags to fit under your seat or on your lap, so pack light for shows.
Great Barrier Reef Arena bans anything bigger than an A3 sheet and points you back to your car or home. The Tomb of the Pharaohs does not allow luggage upstairs into the exhibition and offers storage for A$5.00 per item.
