North Queensland Holidays

Print Version Screen Version

From Mackay to Cairns, North Queensland holidays span over a number of centres and a vast area with distance your only problem in negotiating QLD.

Surrounded by rain forest, Cairns is very tuned to Australian holidays and tourist vacations, balancing travel to the Great Barrier Reef and the Daintree Rainforest with fishing, sensational beaches and some very animated nightlife. Whether you want to dive, surf, white water raft, laze or party Cairns has everything for domestic holidays.

Port Douglas is a small resort town north of Cairns and offers similar holidays deals, with the famous Four Mile Beach and convenient cheap accommodation.

Townsville is the bigger sister and has everything needed for great North Queensland holiday packages. Hit the Strand Beach, a great swimming spot, check out if the Cowboys are playing at Dairy Farmer's Stadium or head to Big Crystal Creek in the Paluma Range National Park and take a dip in the swimming holes; local campsite accommodation is free. For entertainment check out the very hip Consortium and Rhino bars.

Mackay offers a gateway to the Whitsunday Islands, a tropical paradise with aquamarine water and golden beaches. They can also be accessed from Airlie Beach, backpacker party town with a strip of pubs and hectic nightlife and plenty of cheap holidays.

Finally if you're feeling really adventurous, head even further north to Cooktown for your North Queensland holidays and check out where Captain Cook first landed in Australia.
