home to two World Heritage-listed natural wonders and enough adventures
to tick off the bucket list for even the most seasoned traveller. This is where
rainforest meets reef, there are few places on Earth that can boast such
unique natural attractions.
The laid-back, tropical centres of Cairns and Port Douglas are major gateways
to the Great Barrier Reef, also starting points for expeditions to the Gulf of
Savannah and Cape York’s remote wilderness areas.
You’ll love the consistently warm temperatures, laid-back people and their
outdoor lifestyle. Kick back and relax on the beach, disconnect from the
world and pamper yourself at a rainforest eco-resort, perhaps spend a week
diving the reef, or race down the rapids of the Barron river, the opportunities
are endless.
From secluded island hideaways to the red sand and savannah grasslands
of the outback, the natural environment is as diverse as the cultures making
up this little slice of paradise; and it’s all here waiting for you to explore the
tropical goodness.
