| Cape
York - Experience the Adventure |
| Cape York Peninsula - once
in a lifetime |
| Let us take you through ancient
rainforest and across the famous Daintree River to the historic
frontier town of Cooktown and the mining town of Weipa. Travelling
in our air-conditioned, custom-built 4WD vehicle with our trained
driver we visit Bramwell Cattle Station, then on to Bamaga to
explore the Cape. Stand on the tip of Cape York, the most northerly
point of the mainland. Cruise to Thursday Island, then return
to Cairns on a scenic flight over the Great Barrier Reef. Or
relax and enjoy a luxurious cruise back to Cairns. |
| Cape Tribulation - Rainforest
and Reef |
| At the southern end of Cape
York Peninsula lies the spectacular Cape Tribulation. Here the
lush tropical rainforest of the Daintree fringes the coral reefs
of the Great Barrier Reef - it's the only place in the world
where two World Heritage-listed areas meet. A rich mix of coastal
rainforest, mangroves, swamp, pristine white sands and turquoise
waters, Cape Tribulation will amaze you. |

Island in the Sun |

Strait Islanders. Thursday Island, the most populated island
in the Torres Strait, is home to many Torres Strait Islanders.
Experience the relaxed influence of these gentle and friendly

and military past and the island's culture today. |

| Changing Landscapes |
| The vastness of Outback Queensland
supports myriad eco-systems. The stark beauty of the arid Outback
gives way to the coastal tropics of the Gulf of Carpentaria.
Desert-like environments around the mining town of Mt Isa meet
ancient gorges at Carnarvon National Park and dinosaurs leave
their tracks on the land at Lark Quarry. It will give you an
