The most beautiful natural sites to discover Queensland

Located behind the central station, this company organizes 45-minute tours on the Barron River where you can make beautiful photos of these peaceful waters and perhaps see crocodiles. This company also offers hiking in the tropical forest along the river, with tea, coffee and cakes included.

It is in this place, in the Tropic, that the sun reaches only once the zenith a year. South of this tropic, it never reaches it. There is also an information centre that serves as travel agent.

An interesting tour in a reconstituted cave featuring precious stones, fossils and crystals.

Later, 150 km from the coast, the vast Pompey reef stretches south over nearly 50 km. This is one of the most spectacular and most visited sites. Currents are such that they create underwater rivers moving to 12 knots per 80 m deep. It has impressive underwater cellars or blue holes (blue holes). Mystery Cay, south of the reef, is famous for these important colonies of Manta lines and it is not uncommon to see up to several hundred during the same dive.

This park has a royal palm avenue, an original rotunda and a children's playground in a quiet and protected environment. Orchid House contains more than 180 different species.

A hundred kilometres from the coast, Credlin is a platform for access to a dozen reefs. A good compromise for families where both beginners and confirmés will find sites at their level.

A spectacular site with a 30 m canopy covered with haulms, soft corals, branches of black corals. It houses shark sharks, pelagic fish colonies and Manta lines in the winter (May to September).

Offers 6 recently renovated hot and cold hot water pools. Open from 10 am to 17 pm. Also has a campsite.

Safely and in a soothing setting, stroll through the tropical forest and climb along the 350 m of surlevés paths that lead you to splendid views.
