A paradise of golden sandy beaches is what you will discover in Mission Beach. Being one of the few places in Australia where the World Heritage Wet Tropics rainforest and the Great Barrier Reef connect, visitors can lose themselves in its natural diversity. Relaxation is what Mission Beach knows best, with beachfront day spas or one of the many professional beauty salons. Finally it's on to Cairns - Nestled on the coast of Far North Queensland, the city is tucked between the Great Barrier Reef in the Coral Sea and the lush rolling downs of the Atherton Tableland to the west. There is something here for every visitor to enjoy ... adrenaline-charged adventures like diving, white water rafting and bungy jumping or more gentle pursuits like birdwatching, hiking, gourmet restaurants or just sitting under a palm tree sipping a cocktail. Cairns offers visitors fabulous accommodation choices - everything from five star resorts to backpacker accommodation or camping grounds - along with temperate weather, sunny skies and sea breezes ... where else can you enjoy an international band one day and total isolation on a tropical island the next?
