Tour Itinerary
Day 1: Cairns to Magnetic Island
This morning we set out to explore the Babinda Boulders and take a hike along a rainforest trail, learn about the aboriginal legend of the boulders and the vengeful spirit that lives there. We then visit the Johnstone River Crocodile Farm to learn more about the most feared animal in Northern Australia; the estuarine or saltwater crocodile. Spend a couple of hours learning how this prehistoric animal has survived and flourished in Australia's harsh north and see large crocodiles up close and personal. We then drive on to the town of Townsville where we board the ferry to Magnetic Island for our overnight stop at your hostel located right on the beach. Take in the sunset while kicking back with an ice cold beer.
Day 2-3-4: Whitsunday Sailing
Rising early we catch the ferry back to Townsville. We travel through Townsville this morning as we make our way to the Whitsunday gateway of Airlie Beach where we join our 2 night Whitsunday sailing adventure. You will have the opportunity to sun-bathe, snorkel and swim whilst exploring the idyllic Whitsunday Islands on a yacht worth millions of dollars. Visit the many beaches, coves and islands on this two and a half day sailing trip, with the opportunity to hoist the sails and even take the wheel. Note that you will sleep on the boat, moored in quiet coves. Cabins are share only; no twin and doubles for these two nights. We disembark in the afternoon of Day 4 and stay overnight in Airlie Beach.

Camp overnight adjacent to Carnarvon National Park. (Dinner)
Day 6: Carnarvon Gorge
You will probably be roused from your sleep this morning by the many birds that live amongst the trees surrounding the camp. After breakfast you will spend the full day hiking through the many walking trails scattered throughout this magnificent gorge. Walks are mostly of easy grade and therefore suitable for all ages and fitness levels. You will see 500 year old cycads, grass trees and eucalypts, native wildlife and learn about the indigenous ancestors that inhabited this region for more than 3500 years. See the best examples of aboriginal rock-art in Queensland, made from the ochre taken from the region. After a days exercise, you will return to your camp for a good nights sleep within this wilderness region.(Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)
Day 7: Carnarvon National Park to Kroombit Cattle Station
After breakfast we take a short walk amongst the numerous kangaroos and wallabies before we travel through cattle country to Kroombit Cattle Station. Here we experience genuine outback living with the chance to ride a mechanical bull and take a walk of the property. Tonight you will taste a traditional camp oven dinner, cooked in the open fire. (Breakfast, Dinner)
Day 8: Kroombit Cattle Station
Today is jam-packed with wonderful activities also included in the price of your tour. Learn first-hand about Queensland farming life as you participate in a "muster" on horseback, try your skill at trap-shooting and witness a mini-rodeo as animals are herded into the ring. This evening enjoy another hearty camp-oven dinner and re-live your days experiences around the campfire with a beer from the bush bar. (Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner)

After a hearty bush breakfast we head eastwards to Rainbow Beach where we hit the coast for the first time in four days! Rainbow Beach is a vibrant young coastal town, with glistening coloured sands and a relaxed atmosphere. In the afternoon, take part in a cultural demonstration from your guide, learning about the didgeridoo, boomerang and spear throwing and the Rainbow Serpent. This evening relax in our accommodation, located just 100 metres from the beach.

Day 13: Brisbane to Surf Camp via Byron Bay
We travel south along the coast to the Gold Coast and Surfers Paradise and onward to Byron Bay where we admire the coastal views at Australia’s most easterly point; the Byron lighthouse. We then head to our secluded surf camp, located beachside to spectacular white sandy beaches on the Coffs Coast. If surfing isn’t for you perhaps sunbake on the crystal white sands or take a walk around the beautiful headland. This afternoon we relax on the beach, hang out and have dinner back at the Mojo Beach House. (Dinner)
Day 14: Surf Camp to Sydney
After a delicious breakfast, hit the beach for your morning surf lesson. Here we meet up with the crew from Mojo Surf (some of Australia's best surf instructors) whose mission is to get you standing on a board by the end of this lesson. You will start with a theory lesson on surfing and then it’s straight out to the beach to get you on a board. By now you should have the basic surf techniques sorted and some aspiring surfers in the group will be turning at the base of clean breaking waves by the end of this lesson! Everyone who participates in surf school will be given a progressive surf certificate before travelling throughout the afternoon to the stunning city of Sydney. We arrive into Sydney, where you will be able to cherish the many great experiences of Australia’s East Coast. (Breakfast)
