Edmund Kennedy Walking Track

My favourite walking track in Mission Beach is the Edmund Kennedy in South Mission Beach.....a walk through the rainforest, along the beach, around the point for a view of the Islands & on to Kennedy Bay. It's a 7km round trip but you can go as far as you like & then turn around. A fantastic option if you want to get out for a bit of exercise or to just enjoy the beautiful place we live in!

Millers Bar & Grill

It seems like a bit of a foodie theme happening with us at the moment.......but I had a fabulous dinner at Millers Bar & Grill on Tuesday night. My steak & roasted vegies was great, I must say if I was a seafood eater then I would have been really impressed with my friends Seafood Platter, it had so many different things on the plate & got a big thumbs up. We are so lucky with our choices here in Mission Beach!
