Hamilton Island visitPosted by geoff on June 2, 2010
Hi everyone… Cathy and I had the fortunate opportunity for a quick visit to Hamilton Island last weekend. We stayed on the seventeenth floor of the Reef view Hotel, with spectacular views over the coral Sea and Whitsunday Island. We went there for long enough as we had some work to do as well as [...]

AAT Kings & Hawk DreamingPosted by penny on July 28, 2009
Our trip with AAT and Hawk Dreaming was fabulous. It was just what we wanted. The camp site was fantastic and we saw some amazing country with good guides. It was a surprise to find it was a dry camp but that was very good for our health to have no alcohol for 4 days! [...]
Cradle MountainPosted by tolita on January 23, 2009
In 2007 I went to Tasmania and finally saw Cradle Mountain. It was a place I have always wanted to see since hearing how beautiful it was from my grandmother. I was not disappointed, and although the weather was not being kind, I still loved it. Cradle Mountain is a majestic place with the Mountains [...]
Hervey Bay & Fraser IslandPosted by tolita on
I was born and bred in this town, and have seen it grow day by day into the small city it is today. Hervey Bay is the main land for Fraser Island, and the best place to view the whales, therefore it is no wonder the town is made up from Hospitality. The beaches here [...]

Sydney Birthday Surprise!Posted by alisa on December 19, 2008
This year I decided to book a surprise weekend to Sydney for my boyfriend for his birthday. As I was able to get super cheap flights direct from Fraser Coast to Sydney I thought it was a great idea. I kept the trip a secret for 3 months, and finally had to spill the beans [...]
Agnes Water and 1770Posted by alisa on
A few times over the past couple of years my partner and I have driven the 3 hours from Hervey Bay to Agnes Water & 1770. The reason this area is so appealing to us is that it feels like you are so far away from the rest of the world. It is a small [...]
Stinger Season – North QueenslandPosted by andrea on
The stinger season is from around November to May. During this time you need to swim inside the stinger enclosures at the beaches or wear a stinger suit. Stingers aren’t overly energetic animals and have not caused any problems around the Reef, Whitsunday Islands and Far North Queensland islands however jellyfish are prevalent in the [...]
