Mackay: Filled with wildlife and history
The Mackay region is an inviting blend of secluded beaches, elusive wildlife and rural communities. The district is home to over 120,000 people and is nicknamed the 'sugar capital of Australia' producing more than a third of the nation's cane sugar. The natural encounters are abundant within the district and include Cape Hillsborough National Park, where the local kangaroo population roam the sandy white beaches; and the Eungella Hinterland, home to the elusive platypus.
Just off shore also lies the Cumberland Island group which are protected by the Great Barrier Reef. Most of the islands are national park, including the majority of Brampton and Keswick Islands. Many are also important rookeries for the protected flatback and green turtles. St Bee's Island hosts a large colony of koalas currently being researched by Earthwatch. These fabulous locations just off Mackay's coast will suit those who wish to snorkel and those who prefer to cruise our pristine waters while relaxing onboard and taking in the spectacular scenery.

We stopped in to check out the some of the great natural experiences that can be enjoyed in Tropical North Queensland. We started in Cairns and went out for a trip to the Great Barrier Reef.
We sailed out to the reef to Michaelmas Cay with Passions of paradise. The great thing about this location is that you can snorkel right of the beach and if you are a certified diver you can also scuba dive this location.
We then decided to head north to check out the Daintree Rainforest. To get to the Daintree head towards Port Douglas. On your way to the Daintree be sure to check out Mossman Gorge, if its a hot day its a great place to go for a swim.
When you get to the Daintree there are many great walking tracks. As you adventure out along these tracks there are many different experiences that will enjoy and if you are lucky enough you may even see a Cassowary in the wild.
The Atherton Tablelands offers a range of things to do and see. Some of the places to visit are the crater lakes of lake Eacham and Barrine through to the Curtain Fig a must see. Heading further into the Great Dividing range you visit Mount Mulligan.
