If you can think of the perfect place to relax & soak up some vitamin D, we’ll beat it by 10% 😉☀️ Wedged neatly between the Coral Sea & the @wettropicsworldheritage area lies the secluded #EllisBeach, just five minutes north of #PalmCove along the Captain Cook Highway 🐚🚙 Talk about a good place to spend the holidays 🌴 If the relaxed atmosphere is to your liking, stay a while at the Ellis Beach Oceanfront Bungalows & stop in at the @ellisbeachbargrill for a tasty meal (plus cheap oysters on Sundays! 🦪) 📸 @josh_burkinshaw #exploreTNQ #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #explorecairnsGBR [ID: palm trees on the edge of a beach, with a person standing in the distance]

New life guard on duty for the school holidays 🌴😉 This feathered fellow decided to give @lifeguardmaxi a break and take over patrolling the beach at #EttyBay 🏖 There’s not many places you can spot the elusive Southern Cassowary as you stroll along the beach, but @tropicalnorthqueensland is one of them! 🏝 Did you know that there are approximately 700 plant species endemic to the @wettropicsworldheritage area? And almost 100 species that heavily depend on the cassowary to distribute their seeds 🌴😲 #exploreTNQ #explorecairnsGBR #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia

Nope, you're not flicking through the pages of @natgeo, although we wouldn’t blame you for thinking you were 💫🌴 Deep within a 180 million-year-old rainforest, where ​the Kuku Yalanji people have roamed for more than 50,000 years lies the pristine waters & stunning views of #MossmanGorge 🍃💦 Before you explore emerald green waters flowing over smooth, granite boulders enveloped by ancient tropical rainforest, head off on a Ngadiku Dreamtime Walk, peruse the gallery or sample the local food at @mossmangorge centre 🌿🎨🦖  #exploreTNQ #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #explorecairnsGBR [ID: man sitting in clear water at Mossman Gorge, in front of boulders with a stream running between them.

Ever wanted to visit an outback oasis in @tropicalnorthqueensland? Then #LawnHillGorge in Boodjamulla National Park is the place to be! 🏜 You’ll find this beauty along the @savannah_way_australia, boasting vivid organ sandstone cliffs, towering above the emerald green lime-rich waters of Lawn Hill Creek🚙🍃 Paddle through the lily-clad waters of the creek, explore hidden waterfalls or take a walk down memory lane & learn about ancient fossils & the local Aboriginal culture 🛶🦕 ​ Boodjamulla National Park is home to freshwater crocodiles - while freshwater crocs are typically shy & will stay away people. Please be respectful while exploring their habitat. Remember to listen to your guides, obey any warning signs & keep your distance from wildlife 🌴 📸 @phlipvids #exploreTNQ #explorecairnsGBR #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia
