Croc spotting

There was a sighting of a croc in Mission Beach a few weeks ago. There was a warning sign in German?? saying that there had been a sighting and to beware. I am happy to say that the sign has been removed and I for one will definitely be back swimming in the sea...just hope I am not the next croc spotter!!!!

So if you are in Mission Beach and want to book a trip, come and see us at the Mission Beach Information Station, and we will make it happen for you too!!!!

White Water Rafting

On Monday a friend from work and myself went White Water Rafting on the mighty Tully River. It was FANTASTIC!!! We had the best day, and the weather was perfect. Rafting on the Tully not only gives you the adrenaline rush and but it allows you to take in the beautiful sights of the Tully George. The guides were very friendly and were willing to have a joke, the whole atmosphere of the trip was extremely welcoming. I would highly recommend rafting to anybody visiting the Mission Beach area.

Living in Mission Beach

I absolutely love living in Mission Beach. On my day off yesterday, my mum and I went for a drive up to Clump Point lookout and watched the sea patrol boat cruise over to Dunk Island. It was great sunny weather and we could see all the way from Hinchinbrook Island to Kurrimine Beach. After that we went for lunch at North Mission Beach and walked up to Porters Creek along the beach front.

exploring oz

I've just come back from exploring my own backyard! What a trip, 6 days and 5 nights traveling up to Cape York from Mission Beach. We slept in swags under the stars, saw remote cattle stations, swam in creeks, saw ancient aboriginal rock art, cooled off in waterfalls and bumped along some of the most remote roads in Australia. Our main destination was the northern most part of Australia and I'm here to tell you the view from the tip of Australia was awesome! The company we traveled with were fantastic, give them a try, www.exploring-oz.com.au
