Top 10 Things To Do In Queensland
6 (7) Sail the Whitsundays, Far North Queensland
If you have the time then set sail into the blue, blue yonder.
Crewed day and overnight sailing vessels are an excellent way to
explore the seventy-four beautiful Whitsunday Islands.
Sailing in a Whitsunday Paradise
Great food, great company and often-comfortable accommodation accompanied
with an unforgettable experience could well provide the highlight
of your trip.
Depending on the boat and tour you could find yourself hoisting
the sails or taking the helm or simply soaking up your surrounds.
7 (10) Whitehaven Beach - Whitsundays
Whitehaven Beach is a must Whitsunday thing to do.
Dazzling Whitehaven Beach
The beach is a brilliant carpet of white sand stretching over six
kilometres in length. Be prepared to be dazzled.
The pristine expanse of 98% pure silica sand gives the beach and
surrounds a clean, fresh appearance of very white sand fringed by
brilliant blue water and lush tropical islands.
8 (34) Long Island - Whitsundays
The relatively quiet Long Island is close to the mainland in the
heart of the Whitsundays approximately 20 minutes from both Shute
Harbour and Hamilton Island.
Long Island gets it unimaginative name by being 9km long and not
very wide. In a few places, like Fish Bay and Palm Baym, the distance
between the western and eastern shoreline is little more than 300
metres.
The Long to 'get away from it all' Island
Long Island tends to attract travellers looking to 'get away from
it all' without having to sacrifice too many of life's modern conveniences.
9 (13) Molle Group of Islands, Whitsundays
Windswept hillsides, rocky headlands with majestic hoop pines,
golden sandy beaches, extensive fringing coral reefs, secluded coves,
natural grasslands, open forest and rainforest sounds good to you
then a spot of Molle island cruising is probably the go.
Molle Island Cruising
Open eucalypt forests clothe the hillsides, rainforest grows in
sheltered gullies and grasslands cover the more exposed slopes.
It does sound yummy doesn’t it. The scenery here is simply
magnificent.
