Surrounded by rainforest, Cairns is a rad place to kick off an Australian holiday. 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.
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.
