Early morning walk

I live in South Mission Beach and I must say I was really impressed with the number of early morning walkers that you see out and about. I headed off about 7.15am this morning and I certainly wasn't alone. I can't wait for the high tide time to change though so I can get back out onto the beach, its fabulous checking out the view of Dunk Island as you get your morning exercise.

Its cooling down in Mission Beach

I just love this time of year in Mission Beach, where it is just starting to cool down. The nights are perfect for sleeping now, and of course the days, well today anyway, are bright and sunny. So come and visit, you can take a walk through the rainforest, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, skydive, or raft the Tully River to name a few of the wonderful adventures in Mission Beach.

Its good to be back

I've been away in Papua New Guinea for 10 days and I can tell you that even though I had a fabulous trip it really is great to be home in Mission Beach. I always find that being away really does remind you just how good it is to live here, with the beach and rainforest for us to explore and enjoy.

Hinchinbrook Alternative

If the winds are a blowin' and its too rough to go out to the reef off Mission Beach, a great alternative is to spend a day or more discovering Hinchinbrook Island ! Wednesdays, Friday and Sundays are the days when the boat operates to Brooke Islands. Its rarely called off due to rough conditions because its so protected from the southerly winds.

Farewell to an Era

It is a weird sensation to own, love & then sell a business........ I have had the best times at the Mission Beach Information Station.....but eventually there comes a time when you are riding the crest of the wave and realise the ride is almost over and the time has come to try something new. I am thrilled that the new owner, Carolyn has come along with such skill and enthusiasm. Carolyn is going to be a fantastic for the Mission Beach Information Station, she is committed to quality service and is a hard worker. On behalf of the old owners, Steve and Kerrie, I leave this best wishes blog to Carolyn, her new trainee Tamara and to the team - Kallina and Leanne who worked so wonderfully alongside Steve and I. Here's Cheers to the Future! And I am not crying!!!!!
