Explore

The north is a place of extremes – dense swathes of tropical rainforest, temperate coastlines ringed with reefs, and vast tracts of red-earthed outback.  The weather flashes between humid summers, violent cyclones and balmy, sun-drenched winters.  Giant saltwater crocodiles cruise silently along its rivers, while dozens of reptile and mammal species climb through the trees or burrow into the earth.  It’s for adventurers.  Wanderers.  Explorers.  If you want a holiday that’s more than a holiday, Tropical North Queensland is for you.

The Great Barrier Reef is the world’s largest collection of coral reefs, and is one of Australia’s most significant natural icons.  Home to thousands of different aquatic species, as well as over 900 tiny islands, the Reef isn’t just a day trip – it’s an entirely unique world, exploding with life, and there’s a variety of ways to explore it.  Whether you charter a scuba diving boat, or go island-hopping around the Whitsundays, you’ll never forget the majestic beauty of the Great Barrier Reef.

A number of towns and regions comprise the north – coastal city Cairns is the largest.  Other offerings include the Cassowary Coast, the Atherton Tablelands, Palm Cove, Kuranda, Port Douglas, Cape Tribulation, Daintree Rainforest (the oldest rainforest in the world), Cooktown, Cape York and the Torres Strait Islands.

If you’re looking for something off the beaten track, the Gulf of Carpentaria is dominated by the Gulf Savannah, a vast wilderness of desert, wetlands, geological formations and remote mining towns.  Renowned for its pristine environs and plentiful fishing opportunities, the Savannah is perfect for travellers who want to delve into the north’s most exciting adventure.
