Just outside of Sydney, we have the Blue Mountains, an unspoiled mountain range filled with Eucalyptus trees. Sydney is a city of immense vitality and it is an amazing and fascinating destination. There is something for every visitor, history, art, culture, nature, fashion, gastronomy, architecture and above all, Sydney is a city that knows how to have fun.

About the destination: Port Douglas is less than an hour’s drive from Cairns along one of Australia’s most picturesque coastal roads. With golden beaches and some of the most exclusive resorts in tropical North Queensland, Port Douglas – once a quiet fishing village – is sophisticated yet relaxed, and the perfect place to get away from it all. Stroll along Macrossan Street, the heart of the village, and enjoy its elegant restaurants, bars, cafés, boutiques, bookshops and galleries. Treat yourself in designer shops or indulge in one of the luxurious daytime spas. At one end of Macrossan Street you’ll find the magnificent palm-fringed Four Mile Beach, a spectacular spot to watch the sunset. At the other end is Anzac Park, home to the picturesque St Mary’s by the Sea chapel and the weekly Sunday markets. Port Douglas is also ideal for family holidays full of fun and adventure. Learn to snorkel, dive, jet ski, water-ski or kayak to deserted beaches. Cruises to the Great Barrier Reef depart daily from Mirage Marina, visiting sites regarded as some of the most pristine on the reef. Take a day trip to Low Isles on a luxury sailing yacht, or venture further out to the outer reef. Soak up the stunning scenery by helicopter or enjoy a scenic flight by seaplane.
