Itinerary

Day 1

Our journey departs daily from your accommodation in a specially designed 4WD tour vehicle - crossing by river ferry to the spectacular 40 Mile Beach. Northward bound we follow the seemingly endless golden beaches towards the noted world's largest sand island. Our trip through the National Park has led us to Inskip Point where we board a vehicle barge for the short crossing of the Great Sandy Strait. Keep a lookout for dolphins, dugongs and turtles.

We're here - 124km of fantastic beach bounded by the blues of the Coral Sea and the greens of the forests. Low sandy heathlands, (melaleukas, scribblies, banksias) majestic stands of rainforests, narrow sandy tracks lead to jewel coloured freshwater lakes and rainforest steams. Wildlife galore: dingoes, goannas, sea-snakes and kookaburras.

On reaching our luncheon destination it's swimtime followed by a delicious sizzling barbecue lunch with fresh salads and drinks. Into the rainforest we unveil nature's best - a multitude of luxuriant palms, cycads, ferns and hanging vines; Piccabeen, macrozamia, angiopteris, strangler figs. All these and more. Time to casually stroll and marvel at the beauty, variety and lushness.

As all good things come to an end, we are soon homeward bound through the tall forests of gunbarrel straight satinay and kauri timbers. Then down the sandy highway and home in time to catch yet another beautiful Queensland sunset.
