Just up in Port Douglas on holiday at the moment and flying back to Melbourne on Thursday from Cairns. Does anyone know of a woodturning timber supplier in the area?

There is no serious woodturning timber supplier in Cairns.
For a selection try Daintree & Tolga.

Most woodturners in this area have their own "source" of timber, that doesn't encourage commercial outlets. If you had more time I could probably help you out.
