The Aquatic Festival

Here I am at work thinking I would be the only one not at the aquatic festival but here I am at the Mission Beach Information Station with a shop full of people. They are happily typing away, maybe even blogging too...so I don't feel so bad, I have company! But hey there is always tomorrow and tonight for that matter to catch up with everyone at the festival. It's never dull in Mission Beach that's for sure!

Aquatic Festival Fun

The best weekend of the year is here......Mission Beach's Aquatic Festival. It is going to be great fun, so head down to the Rotary Park section of Wongaling Beach and enjoy the stalls, rides, parade & fun!

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.

Mission comes alive!

Wow. Mission Beach is full of holidaymakers, Sea Patrol people and the normal assortment of backpackers and farm workers busy on the bananas. It's perfect weather for a holiday so plan ahead, book ahead and come to Mission Beach!

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

Well the weather is just perfect again today in Mission Beach. Just driven to work and the sea looked just beautiful with the sun shining on it. I am so lucky that I have this drive to work, it starts the day off in the right way!

Sea Patrol is back in town

Sea Patrol has come back to Mission Beach to start filming the second series. Lucky them, what a fabulous place to work, the sun is shining, the sky is clear and the water looks perfect. If your into star watching then come and visit Mission Beach because you will be sure to see someone you know!

The living, dining and kitchen offer a relaxed atmosphere and easy living with no fuss.

The Reef

At last I have been out to the Reef with Calypso! It was just awesome....the weather was perfect and the visibility was amazing. I saw a turtle, stingray, loads of fish and beautiful coral. We left Mission Beach about 8.30am and didn't get back until 6.00pm so it was a great day out. The staff were lovely, really looked after us etc. I am so excited to go out again!!!! Roll on my next Reef trip!

Great Reef Weather - Book Ahead

This time of year is perfect for exploring the Great Barrier Reef; sunshine, minimal wind and warmer temperatures. Here in Mission Beach we have two fantastic companies, Calypso and Quickcat that go out to various areas of the Reef. Unfortunately Quickcat will be out of service for approximately a week as they are waiting for part to come from China. With the school holidays being a very busy time it is crucial to book ahead if you are wanting to go out to the Great Barrier Reef.

holiday time for me

Yeah! I'm going on holidays, its my turn at last! Day in, day out I meet people traveling through Mission Beach, Far North Queensland, Australia - they are having fun, relaxing and exploring. Well now it's my turn, I'm heading to Cape York with Exploring Oz. I can't wait, 6 days, 5 nights exploring the top of Australia with a professional tour company, sleeping in swags under the stars, chatting around the camp fire and generally chilling out. Lucky we have a great team at the Mission Beach Information Station, Steve, Jan, Leanne and Kallina, who can keep organising fun for others while I'm off having a ball! Thanks gang!

Finally

Finally, I am going out to the Great Barrier Reef with Calypso! I am going on Thursday with my partner and his friend who is visiting from The U.K. I have had two previous trips arranged that have fallen through so I am very excited. It is only going to be 11 knots on Thursday, perfect weather and better as far as my sea sickness goes! I love snorkeling and am hoping to see all sorts of cool things. My partner will go diving, he wants me to do it, but I am not sure yet! As we live in Mission Beach I will have plenty of opportunity to change my mind! I will be posting a blog after my adventure to the Great Barrier Reef!

Enjoy the great outdoors in Mission Beach

I remember as a child my parents always telling me to go outside and play, I don't think you really appreciate the benefits when your young. Yesterday I went for a walk along South Mission Beach and it was great to see so many people outside enjoying the sunshine. There were speed boats, sail boats and fishing boats. There were people walking, swimming, fishing and water-skiing all along the beach........ I just love living in Mission Beach, especially in winter.

swimming in the sea

I really recommend that anyone living at Mission Beach should go for a swim in the sea at the moment! The temperature is just right for a refreshing dip. Salt water is really good for the skin. It draws out toxins in the body and heals any cuts and bruises really quickly. It helps you lose any excess water retention by drawing it out. Not only will you feel refreshed, you will be benefiting from the healing properties of the sea. So get swimming!
