Enjoy island time ( close to home )

How lucky are we to have a coastline dusted with off-shore islands ! Try tropical gem Fitzroy Island ( right ), a 45-minute catamaran transfer from Cairns . Embrace island time with snorkelling , rainforest walks , and lazy beach snoozes that segue into sunset drinks by the Coral Sea . The island caters for day trippers or hens and bucks groups with a range of accommodation , including a Penthouse Apartment which looks out over the sheltered waters of Welcome Bay . For a memorable island getaway , we also love the incredible landscapes of K ’ gari Fraser Island . Explore the best of this World Heritage treasure from eco escape Kingfisher Bay Resort , just under an hour by ferry from River Heads ( near Hervey Bay ). Their Sunset Bar is a top spot to reconvene after a day of 4WD adventures . queenslandbrides . com . au 91
