Sightseeing
This is a great place to go relax unwind, and really get in the spirit of the relaxed North Queensland lifestyle.
Very laid back, a few pubs and great walking tracks. Koalas are usually spotted and a wildlife park is there also.
Bikes and mokes and scooters are available for hire, though the bus system is very efficient reliable and cost effective.

Great day trip. Fresh flowing waterfalls and swimming holes. It's quite inland and the water is cold! Great to escape the heat.
Take your own food and water, insect repellant and sunscreen.
