Lazy Days

Today I enjoyed lunch with my mum at one of the many cafe's up at North Mission Beach. The atmosphere up there is great and the food is not too bad either. After lunch we had a cruise around some of the local shops and art galleries, what a great way to spend the afternoon!

The Kennedy Walking Track

Well with the glorious weather that has finally been bestowed upon us this weekend, I think I shall pack my backpack and head down the Kennedy Walking Track. This is one of the most picturesque walks that Mission Beach has to offer. Starting from the Southern end of South Mission Beach, the 7km track winds around headlands and across deserted beaches to the Hull River mouth.
This walk is a must if you have a day to spare in Mission Beach. Come into the Mission Beach Information Station for maPublish Postps and directions

Watching the rafters

Yesterday we drove from Mission Beach to Tully Gorge to watch the white water rafters. There is a lookout where you can go to see them, and with 21 rafts going past it was quite a sight to see. The gorge itself is fabulous and we have photos to prove it. Topped off with a picnic right on the river further down and the day was just perfect. Come into the Mission Beach Information Station and I can tell you exactly where to go so you can see them too.

Pandanus Beachfront Apartments

Friends of mine are staying here in Mission Beach, they have the whole family with them, 8 adults and 5 children. I found the perfect accommodation at Pandanus Beachfront Apartments, they have the complex to themselves and the children are quite comfortable roaming from one apartment to another. Its across the road from the beach and close to a park with a playground, and of course I also ordered beautiful sunny weather for them, how nice of me!
