Tropical North Queensland Information
Bursting at the seams with both natural and man-made attractions, Tropical North Queensland is a holiday dream come true. A journey here guarantees magnificent World Heritage nature, first-class accommodation, friendly people, fine tropical cuisine, culture and a myriad of outdoor adventures. In this region the rainforest meets the reef, the wet tropics sit alongside the Great Barrier Reef, both are a haven for unique and beautiful flora and fauna. Cairns is the hub of the region and makes a perfect launching pad for a holiday of a lifetime. It is a friendly, lively and unique city with broad appeal for visitors of all kinds.
Scuba diving the Great Barrier Reef is essential and on must-do lists of divers from around the world. The reef can also be enjoyed from the sky in a scenic flight, as you plummet to the ground sky-diving or from the safety of a glass-bottomed boat.. the choices are endless. Sail between the islands of the region, select between exclusive or rustic accommodation, and have a once in a lifetime experience. And be sure to visit the northern beach communities of Palm Cove and Port Douglas for a relaxing retreat filled with spa treatments at luxurious resorts.
Just a little further north you'll enter into the Daintree National Park where you can experience the stunning Mossman Gorge and the beauty of Cape Tribulation. Further north still is the vast Cape York Peninsula, known as Australia's last frontier. Then there's the Outback and Gulf Savannah which covers the remote land to the west from the base of the Great Dividing Range to the Gulf of Carpentaria.
And not to be missed just inland from Cairns is Kuranda, where the highlands of Tropical North Queensland begin. This area encompasses rainforest to dry scrubland; it's an area that is as diverse as it is enchanting. Take the Kuranda Skyrail gondola ride at the rainforest treetops or take a historic train ride on Kuranda Scenic Railway with beautiful views of the Barron Gorge.
Simply put, Tropical North Queensland offers unparalleled experiences that will forge lasting memories. It's time for you to come experience it for yourself.
