Itinerary

Map of East Coast Cruisin Reverse 2012 - 2013

Day 1 Airlie Beach to the Whitsundays.

From the delightful resort town of Airlie Beach. Step aboard our yacht and tonight you’ll gaze upon the stars and enjoy the relaxed vibes. (D)

 

Day 2 The Whitsundays (South Molle Island).

Today get ready to chase the sun over the shimmering ocean. Weather permitting; we'll visit Whitehaven Beach (the whitest sand you've ever seen) and Blue Pearl Bay. Then we plot a course for nearby South Molle Island, our home for the next two nights – take a turn on the helm if you're up for it!. (B, L, D)

 

Day 3 The Whitsundays (South Molle Island).

Back on dry land, explore the idyllic surrounds of South Molle: feed the Rainbow Lorikeets, go snorkelling or swimming, even a quick 9 holes of golf if you feel the urge (own expense). There's plenty of bushwalking tracks available, with scenic views of the Whitsundays and 17 (count 'em) private beaches if you want to get away. A walk up “Spion Kop” is a must. (B, D)

 

Day 4 Emu Park to The Whitsundays.

Today arrive back on dry land at the beach side town of Emu Park. (B, D)

 

Day 5 Emu Park to Kroombit Park, via Rockhampton.

Today we head “bush” to our working cattle station, for a taste of “Outback Hospitality”. Along the way we stop at the “Cattle City” of Rockhampton (known as “Rocky” to the locals). Later get ready for the world-famous “Goat Rodeo”, before we settle in ‘round the campfire for a tale or three. (B, L, D)

 

Day 6 Kroombit Park to Noosa.

Leaving the farm behind, we journey back to the coast to Noosa, a popular resort town on the Sunshine Coast! Enjoy the endless beaches of the area, or just mosey around town. Tonight we’ll share a drink or two with the friendly locals. (B)

 

Day 7 Fraser Island.

Today we visit the world’s largest sand island, and a UNESCO World Heritage-listed site, Fraser Island! We’ll take a 4-wheel drive tour and guided rainforest walk followed by an Aussie barbecue on the banks of Lake McKenzie. (B, L)

 

Day 8 Noosa to Gold Coast.

We head south along the Bruce Highway to Brisbane for a river cruise. Driving passed the Glasshouse Mountain range en route there’s an option to hop off at Australia Zoo on the way. (B)

 

Day 9 Gold Coast to Byron Bay.

Today we make the short trip over the border to Byron Bay. (B, D)

 

Day 10 Byron Bay.

We have a full day in Byron. Maybe try diving or sea kayaking? Or perhaps you’d prefer the arts and crafts of the local area, or a walk to Cape Byron. (B)

 

Day 11 Byron Bay to Crescent Head

We will check out Coffs Harbour and the “Big Banana”, before reaching Crescent Head. (B, D)

 

Day 12 Sydney to Crescent Head (surfing).

We hit the beach early for a surf lesson and make a quick stopover in Kempsey (home of the “Akubra” hat), before arriving in Sydney where it’s time to say our goodbyes. (B) 

 

Please note this trip forms part of the Island Suntanner Reverse, days 3 - 14.
