Go Troppo in Far North Queensland!

Once upon a time that phrase was thought of as being a consequence of living in the tropics - especially for ""colonials"" from other, milder climates of the world.

People would go a little strange, their social structures, dress standards and conduct would relax a little...and restrictions would fall away as they embraced the ""joie de vivre"" that was their new, daily life.

Today in tropical Australia, locals enjoy all the modern amenities that go with a progressive society.

Enjoy a week of the arts in the tropical paradise location of Port Douglas. The seaside village with a vibrant tropical atmosphere and city style sophistication that blends perfectly together in a cocktail of exotic ambience and warm balmy nights. From the beauty and excitement of the gala cocktail party opening at the Sugar Wharf to the final, free, sunset concert performances by world-acclaimed artists, the Port Douglas region will showcase its creative talents with verve and pride.
