Take flight to this tropical haven where another world awaits. Prepare yourself for a drive of a lifetime as you cruise a highway hugging one of the world's natural wonders and earth's largest living structure - the Great Barrier Reef. Frequently described as a drive through a living postcard, this is truly a breathtaking beautiful journey through paradise.

Run away to a peaceful tropical isle, ideal for that much needed reprieve. Sit on pure white sandy beaches without the worry of time ticking by. Clear tranquil waters filled with colourful corals and tropical fish present a treat no one ever forgets.

Indulge in fresh seafood, juicy tropical fruits and cuisine prepared by some of the finest chefs from around the world. Enjoy a cocktail as the sun dips behind greenly clad mountains while the smells of the rainforest waft through your room and the wildlife outside prepares for the change of shift.

Explore magnificent coastal National Parks where wallabies graze along the foreshore and often you'll have long stretches of sandy white beaches to yourself. Up in the mountains spot a platypus and other amazing displays courtesy of Mother Nature.

Pull over for a yarn and get to know the locals in friendly coastal communities. It's a drive you can do at your own pace and the choice of activities from thrilling adventure to doing absolutely nothing is simply yours - this is heaven - be warned, you many never want to leave!
