Getting a grip on Airbnbs, or an idea of the number and impact of them in the Douglas Shire, is making news for this week's fresh FREE edition of Newsport Daily Print.

The number of Port Douglas Airbnbs has grown by 7 per cent in the past year, with close to 50 more coming online since the end of June last year. The total number of Airbnbs

in the popular tourist destination now totals close to 700.

Mixed views on Airbnbs benefit and impact on housing availability abound, and it looks like the debate is set to grow in Douglas based on those numbers.

And while that is serious stuff to take in, balance is always best in your local community paper so we've packed in a stack of cuteness with local kids and calf Paddy promoting this weekend's Mossman Show.

Thousands are expected to enjoy the popular event this weekend, which will also include wood chopping, equestrian, a reptile zoo, pig racing, dog jumping, art displays and more.

A bit of fun never goes astray, and we love people having their say on topics, so we ask you your thoughts on some Fisho Fashion promotional attire too... while the You Said It! Page is filled to the brim as usual.

Creb Track carnage, $600,000 spent at Mossman Gorge and an assurance from Mossman Markets managers the markets are here to stay, are making headlines and keeping readers across the news, and we have plenty of social snaps helping you keep up with who’s out and about enjoying Douglas events.

The Sports section is a bit "sh#t" this week but in a great way, capturing some of the colour of a rally event that kicked off in Port Douglas.
