It's been a while

I had some visitors to Mission Beach come in this afternoon. They were amazed at the changes to town as they have not been here since 1983. Its still as perfect now as it was then!

Scootering Mission Beach

After scootering around Magnetic Island on the weekend and having a fantastic time I think I will definitely be buying a scooter in the near future to zip around Mission Beach on. So much fun! So economical!!

Mission Beach Information Station

You may not know this but the staff in the Mission Beach Information Station can help you with any tour bookings from Cooktown to Byron Bay. Today I booked a Whitsunday boat trip from Airlie Beach, whale watching in Hervey Bay and Fraser Island 2 day tour, all for the one traveller. She thought it was fantastic because now she doesn't have to waste any holiday time organising it herself. That's what we do here, help you enjoy yourself.

Friends are coming back

It's only 1 more sleep to go before my friends move back to Mission Beach, I am very excited about that I can tell you. Plus I have friends from Victoria coming to visit as well, what a big day its going to be, many a drink could be consumed I think.

Greyhound & Premier bus passes

Remember if your travelling south and planning to visit places like Magnetic Island, the Whitsundays, Fraser Island and Byron Bay to name a few, then its a good idea to buy a Greyhound or Premier bus pass. Its cheaper and allows you to jump on and off at your leisure. Come in to the Mission Beach Information Station and we will tell you all about them.

Magnetic Island

I am driving from Mission Beach this coming weekend. Going to hire a scooter (only$35.00 for the day) and checkout the length and breadth of the Island. Its been 7 years since I have been there. I reckon if I didn't live in Mission Beach my next choice would be' Maggie'. I just love it there!!

Lots of visitors in town

I have had a busy morning so far with visitors to Mission Beach wanting to know what to do today as there is a bit of wet weather around. I have sent people to the Tully Sugar Mill for a tour, a drive into the Tablelands to check out the waterfalls and fig trees and off to Mena Creek to visit Paronella Park. All great options I think.

White Water Rafting

A little bit of rain

Finally on the 21st day of August we have had rain in Mission Beach, the first time this month. I woke up last night to the sound of rain on the roof, and it was good to hear.

Tully Sugar Mill Tour

Well I finally got to the Tully Sugar Mill yesterday for the tour. It is certainly worth it. Its massive!!. The engineering in the place is just mind boggling. I drove back to Mission Beach thinking how I will have to do more of such outings. It really was fantastic.
