Additional Information
JQL14R Itinerary 2012Itinerary
Day 1 Cairns.
Travel one of Australia’s most scenic coastal drives to the Daintree region and meet the traditional custodians of the region, the Kubirri brothers of the Kuku Yalanji tribe. They’ll show us traditional spear fishing and teach about their culture.
Day 2 Cairns.
Where the rainforest meets the reef, that’s where you’ll find Cairns. Take advantage of these two spectacular natural landscapes with a day free for optional activities! Why not spend the day diving or snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef, a highlight of any visit to tropical North Queensland. (B)
Day 3 Cairns to The Whitsundays.
We have arrived in Paradise. Sail across azure waters, discovering remote beaches and colourful coral reefs. Soak up the sun, swim in the tropical ocean or take a turn at the helm. (B, D)
Day 4 The Whitsundays (South Molle Island).
Day 5 The Whitsundays (South Molle Island).
Day 6 The Whitsundays to Emu Park.
After a morning of sailing we’re back to dry land at Emu Park. (B, D)
Day 7 Emu Park to Kroombit Park, via Rockhampton.
Day 8 Kroombit Park to Noosa.
Day 9 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 stunning Lake McKenzie. (B, L)
Day 10 Noosa to Gold Coast.
Travelling along the Bruce Highway, we drive past the Glasshouse Mountain range en route to Noosa, a popular resort town on the Sunshine Coast. There’s an option to hop off at Australia Zoo on the way. Arrive in Brisbane, capital of Queensland, for a cruise along its famous river. (B, D)

Today we make the short trip over the border to Bryon Bay, the easternmost point on the mainland. World renowned for its superb beaches and eclectic lifestyle, it’s a resort town so good some visitors have never left! (B, L)
Day 12 Byron Bay.
A full day in Byron leaves you with a veritable cavalcade of options: try out sea kayaking, diving, or skydiving perhaps? Maybe you’d prefer to experience the arts and crafts of the local area, or take a walk to Cape Byron. Then again, the beach could be calling your name... (B)
Day 13 Byron Bay to Crescent Head.
Take in the shimmering Pacific Ocean with a surfing lesson, or just kick back and enjoy the natural scenery. (B, D)
Day 14 Crescent Head to Sydney.
We hit the beach early for a surf lesson before heading down the coast. We’ll make a quick stopover in Kempsey (home of the “Akubra” hat), before arriving in Sydney where we say our goodbyes. (B)
