Cairns drop-off info
At Cairns, we have a key drop for returns after-hours, However, dropping off outside of office hours must be approved by Spaceships prior. So contact us first if you haven't done this and to see if a later drop-off is available.
Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM – 4:00 PM: Return your van at the Landing / Drop-Off Zone just inside the gate in car parks 1, 2, or 3.
Before 8:00 AM, after 4:00 PM, or on weekends: Please park outside the gate in the provided car parks or across the road near the creek.
Do not block any entrances.
Once parked, securely lock your van and place the keys in the key drop pipe at the front gate. Do not place the keys in the Spaceships mailbox.
