Helicopter over the reef

Yesterday I drove from Mission Beach to Cairns to go out on the Sunlover Reef Trip. It was an awesome day. We saw the monster Maori Wrasse called Wally. What a character he is. He followed the underwater photographer around like a puppy dog waiting for his tip bits. By far the highlight of the day was the 10 minute helicopter flight with GBR Helicpoters. I would recommend to anyone coming to North Queensland to do it. Its a spectacular way to see the reef from 500metres above.If you would like any information on this trip or any other in our region pop into the
Mission Beach Information Station

Weekend in Townsville

Townsville is less than a 3 hour drive from Mission Beach, and that is where I spent a lovely weekend with friends from Mackay and Melbourne. We stayed at the A&A Holiday Apartments one street back from The Stand. It was the perfect spot, we parked our cars and walked everywhere. We had a great 2 bedroom apartment that was fully self contained, and we were lucky enough to have the pool next door and no-one else wanted to use it so it was like having our own private swimming area. If your looking for somewhere to stay then this is a terrific spot.
