Because of that Calypso are very keen to take you out to the Great Barrier Reef, so if your in Mission Beach over the coming days come into the Mission Beach Information Station and we will help you book a snorkel or scuba dive trip to the Reef.

On site activities, by arrangement, include chinese cooking classes, vegetable carving, massage and facials and Feng Shui classes. This is a great option for those staying in Mission Beach for a night or a week.

The comparisons

I'm sitting here at work in Mission Beach, looking out the window at how green and wet it is, of course because its been raining for quite a while now and we are only hours away from terrible flooding. My Mum however is sweltering in mid 40 degrees down in country Victoria and has been for a couple of weeks. Its so hard to believe we are living in the same country right now as the weather is so extreme from one end to the other.

Absolute Backpackers

Absolute Backpackers is one of 4 hostels located in Mission Beach. It has been a friendly refuge for travelers for over 15 years. 1 minute walk from the bus stop & shops. Close to the beach. Good, clean, cool and spacious accommodation with a warm and friendly atmosphere. Way cool kitchen! Mainly air conditioned. They are also very generous as they offer a free BBQ on Saturday nights!

Stranded Tourists

Well its been days now that the road south of Mission Beach around Ingham has been cut off by flood waters. There are a lot of nervous backpackers stuck in Mission Beach wondering when the rain is ever going to stop. ....and who knows the answer to that one!! Mission Beach / Tully region is the wettest spot in the country after all.

Cyclone Ellie

Cyclone Ellie has been and gone, leaving a bit of debris and water around Mission Beach. Everyone did all the rights things, cleaning up outside and stocking up on the essentials but thank goodness she didn't hit us too hard. If your planning a visit to Mission Beach then check the road conditions with RACQ, travel safely and we will see you soon.

White Water Rafting

I think White Water Rafting on the Tully River is the perfect way to spend a day if your visiting Mission Beach at the moment. The rain will not bother you because your going to get wet anyway, and this way you have lots of fun doing it. Come in and see us at the Mission Beach Information Station and we will tell you why!

Back to school

The students at Mission Beach State School were back at school on Tuesday, hopefully after enjoying a wonderful festive season. I'm sure there were plenty of excitement from both old and new students. Best wishes for a great 2009 school year!

Mission Beach Shores is luxury beachfront bungalow style accommodation at its very finest. Set amongst lush tropical gardens, the fully self contained Balinese theme bungalows offer total comfort in casual tropical surrounds at Mission Beach.

Happy Australia Day

"Happy Australia Day" from Mission Beach. There are celebrations happening all over the country today. Its no different here, with the day starting off with a festive breakfast. Whatever your doing, and wherever you are today have a great Australia Day!

Hinchinbrook Island

Hinchinbrook Island is Australia's largest island National Park, surrounded by the World Heritage Great Barrier Reef Marine Park...take a day trip or stay on the Island's one hideaway resort. The best bit is that it is just over an hour drive to Cardwell from Mission Beach, and then a ferry ride across to Hinchinbrook Island.

Pontoon at Clump Point Boat Ramp

I went and had a look at the new pontoon at the Clump Point Boat Ramp. How fantastic this is, for the tour companies that operate from there to the everyday person who wants to go fishing or just for a cruise. It looks so much safer and is a wonderful addition to Mission Beach. Well done to the "locals" that made this happen.

Beach Bus

The Beach Bus operates Monday to Saturday and runs north and south, from Connors Corner in Bingil Bay through to the Horizon at South Mission Beach. Services operate from 9am to 6pm. With prices starting from $3 per section this little bus is a great way to explore the 4 villages of
Mission Beach.

White Water Rafting

Its a great time of year to be visiting Mission Beach to go White Water Rafting on the famous Tully River. Theres been plenty of water falling lately and the river is pumping and with over 40 rapids to tackle its a whole lotta fun. People travel from all over the world to come to Mission Beach especially to raft the mightly Tully River.
