There's more to tropical Queensland than surf and turf - be dazzled by its natural beauty on this journey of relaxation and discovery. Learn about life on the land at a cattle station, travel through mist-shrouded rainforests and kick back on endless sandy beaches. The clean air, balmy weather and breathtaking scenery will leave you feeling revitalised, refreshed... and craving more.

Itinerary

Day: Description:
1 Brisbane:
Scratch the surface of glitzy 'BrisVegas' to discover the soul of Queensland's riverside capital. Investigate the thriving arts scene, wander through the city's subtropical gardens or cruise the river before joining the locals for some delicious cuisine.
2 Hervey Bay:
Leave the urban sprawl behind and travel through the Sunshine Coast hinterland. Along the way, stop by a spectacular lagoon near Noosa Heads en route to Hervey Bay. Adored by anglers, it dishes up some mighty tasty seafood.
3-4 Fraser Island:
Travel by ferry to an island paradise and explore washed-up, rusty shipwrecks, freshwater lakes, rugged sand dunes and lush rainforests. Take a 4WD for a cruise around the island, or venture out to Indian Heads for some shark-spotting. Round the day off with a game of beach cricket and a barbecue.
5-6 Outback Farmstay:
Witness the waving fields of sugar cane farms give way to grazing lands, craggy blue ranges and rural hamlets. Learn about life on the land on this fair dinkum Aussie farmstay. Crack a whip, help with milking, muster and rope a cow, then dine on dinner from a camp oven and spend the night under the stars in a bushman's swag.
7-8 Airlie Beach:
To many, a trip to the Whitsundays is the ultimate tropical island getaway. Spend the day cruising throughout the region, dropping anchor at a handful of the secluded, sandy islands to swim, dive or snorkel in the turquoise waters. Back on dry land, enjoy an evening out and experience the famous Airlie Beach nightlife.
9-10 Mission Beach:
Gaze over the lush surroundings of Mission Beach from land, sea, or air. Whether it's basking in the sun, conquering white water rapids in a raft, or getting an adrenalin fix skydiving, Mission Beach has all bases covered. Sleep among the trees in a rainforest hut. Keep an eye open for the reclusive cassowary - a remarkable, endangered giant bird.
11-12 Cairns:
The adventure concludes in hot, steamy Cairns. Gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and Atherton Tablelands, be sure to sink a beer with the locals in this easygoing town. Staying a few extra days is a great opportunity to relax and spend time in the lively bars and restaurants along its foreshore promenade, or laze on the sleepy beaches north of the town.
