Places to visit in Australia
Hi,
I am new to this forum and really happy to be part of this.
Last year I visited Australia and travelled lot of places in Australia
so I thought to share it with you all.
Port Douglas is 68 kilometers (about 40 miles) up the east coast (Reef
Side), north of Cairns. Set up on the beach (including the fabulous
Four Mile Beach), and shielded by the Great Barrier Reef, it is a small
city of about 4,000 people. The atmosphere is that of a laid back,
seaside community, but there is a growing, tourist-driven commerce
here, that allows you to enjoy a vacation in posh style. Shopping
centers provide access to everything from designer fashion to
Aboriginal art. You can shop in a boutique gallery or a small tropical
hut. The produce markets offer a huge variety of locally grown tropical
fruits.
The city of Cairns sits on the east beach (that's the reef side) of the
North Queensland peninsula. This is the best-known city in coastal
Queensland, and the gateway, for an outsider, into the entire area.
This is the intersection of the tropical rainforest, the beach, the
Reef, and transportation, inside and out.
Just 15 minutes north of Cairns, you'll find the lovely Trinity Beach,
commonly thought of as "Cairns' Favorite Beach". The beach is lined
with palm trees, the sand is rich, and the water is warm, deep, and
great for swimming and fishing. This beach has been discovered by
tourists slightly more than Clifton Beach has, but it is a preferred
destination for the local inhabitants around the Cairns area. There are
many cafes and restaurants along the beach, and there is easy access to
local shopping, and into the city of Cairns.
The Ancient Aboriginals would be proud -- Palm Cove is renown for being
Australia's "cleanest beach". The locals have an almost religious zeal
for keeping their beach in pristine condition. There is a full-time
Green Team, which works with the local businesses to keep the beach
immaculate, as well to inform visitors of all the available services,
including where to dine.The beach is also aptly named. It's lined with
palm trees.
The accomodation I had at: Port Douglas Accommodation at Mandalay and
Shalimar Luxury Beachfront Apartments, Cairns Accommodation, Apartments
in Cairns Australia Reef Palms, Noosa Accommodation - Sebel Resort
Noosa. Their services was really very good.
I would recommend you all also if you need accomodation in Australia
