White Water Rafting

On Monday a friend from work and myself went White Water Rafting on the mighty Tully River. It was FANTASTIC!!! We had the best day, and the weather was perfect. Rafting on the Tully not only gives you the adrenaline rush and but it allows you to take in the beautiful sights of the Tully George. The guides were very friendly and were willing to have a joke, the whole atmosphere of the trip was extremely welcoming. I would highly recommend rafting to anybody visiting the Mission Beach area.

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.

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!

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.
