PakMag - About Us

About PAKMAG

PakMag Cairns was launched in 2007 to provide information for local families about relevant entertainment, activities and services that exist for families in the Cairns region. Since then we have launched PakMag Townsville in 2010 and is now become a firm favourite, with readers relying on the magazine to keep updated every month. And, we've extended this relationship by creating regular family events so we also meet our readers face to face every month. Our goal is to be a valuable resource for readers and a vehicle for local businesses to promote what they do for families.
