Top 35 Things To Do In Queensland
31 (9) For a change of pace and scenery - Quad biking, Kuranda,
North Queensland
Great fun in these powerful machines. Just be careful and please
listen to the safety brief a Quad Bike can cause some serious damage
if not handled with respect.

Small Quad Bikeys
There is a smaller bike option for people not comfortable with
the larger quad bikes.
Quad Hills and Water Traps
The trail is both exciting and has great views with a few water
traps and hill climbs to negotiate. Back at home base you''ll enjoy
light refreshments prepared by special catering staff with international
experience.
Meeting point and supplier's details are provided immediately after
booking.
32 (52) Dunk Island
Dunk Island is a picturesque island with a 271 metre bump at its
center. It’s a tough walk around the island but very rewarding.
There is a cafe and bar at the southern end of the main beach (Brammo
Bay). There is also a camping ground on the National Park.
The resort on the island is ideally suited to love stuck, joint
at hip couples and those escaping from their children.
Dunk Island is accessible from Mission Beach.
Dunk Island Kayak
Leave South Mission Beach and paddle across to Dunk Island - this
is an easy paddle and no experience is necessary. Whilst crossing
you might see some dolphins and turtles. You will then stop at a
nearby island for a mid morning snack before exploring the shallow
waters of beautiful Dunk Island.
Beautiful Dunk Island
On Dunk Island you can enjoy a walk through the rainforest and
learn about the island ecology and history, then continue onto a
secluded bay to swim in the warm clear tropical waters. Lunch will
be a selection of delicious salads, cold cuts and tropical fruit.
Fish Dunk
After lunch you'll have time to relax on the beach or try snorkeling
to get a closer look at the coral and tropical fish of the fringing
reef. You will return to your kayak for the afternoon paddle to
further explore the nearby islands before you head back to the mainland.
33 (26) Best of All Lookout - Mudgeeraba, Gold Coast
Stroll the easy, short 700m to the highest lookout
on Springbrook Plateau, Springbrook National Park to enjoy the outstanding
panoramic view across Mount Warning to Byron Bay and Coolangatta.
Along with the great views this is a World Heritage
Area of Antarctic Beech, rainforest and abundant bird life
As with most walks in Queensland best experienced
early or late in the day. Please stick to the path and stand back
from the edge of the cliffs.
34 (76) Airlie Beach, Whitsundays
Airlie Beach, the gateway to the Whitsundays, an overused phase
(sorry, I won’t do it again) Apart from being a great base
(not much better) to explore the Whitsundays, Airlie Beach has that
holiday, relaxed tropical feel that can act like fly paper to over
stressed city folk.
Suddenly you find the motivation to change careers, and in some
cases, change your entire life. So be warned. Also remember there
are such things as the rainy season and the occasional cyclone if
you choose to live up here. Personally, I think it is part of the
attraction but don’t listen to people like me.
Abel Point Airlie Beach Marina
Back to ‘work’, from the road above Abel Point Marina
you can enjoy expansive views of the indented coastline, the aquamarine
sea and the glimpse of distant tropical Whitsunday islands on the
horizon.
Airlie lagoon
Landscaped parkland and village streets overlooking the bay fringe
the vast Airlie lagoon.
Airlie Beach market
Airlie Beach market takes over the foreshore parkland every Saturday.
You can stock up on your fruit and veggies, pick up a gift or two
or people watch under the shade of a coconut palm.
At night there is range of places to go and be seen and clubs to
party in but don’t forget the early start. If you want to
rest do it on a boat or the beach. Don’t waste valuable holiday
time in bed, at least, not on your own.
35 Surf the Daintrees- Cape Tribulation
There's a new species in the world's oldest rainforest..
the Jungle Surfer
 Jungle
Surfing
Set in the pristine Daintree rainforest at Cape Tribulation, the

ground.
Flying Fox Jungle Style

at five tree platforms to take in spectacular bird's eye views over
the treetops, down to cascading streams and out to the Great Barrier
Reef.
