School holiday fun

1. Show your kids the Great Barrier Reef – Kids go free to Moore Reef (during April)



2. Spend the day at beautiful Green Island or Mission Beach

   · Local swimming holes



4. Get wild – head out to one of the Wildlife parks our favourites are:
   · Johnstone River Crocodile Park
   · Cairns Tropical Zoo
   · Cairns Wildlife Safari Reserve



5. Discover Queensland’s No 1 attraction – Paronella Park in the Cassowary Coast


6. Learn more about indigenous Australian culture at Tjapukai or on a guided walk with Guurrbi Tours



7. Go camping at Lake Tinaroo



8. Step back in time on the Ravenshoe Steam Train



9. Visit the outback and spend a couple of days at Undara



10. Explore the Cairns Highlands – we recommend a visit to:
    · Crystal Caves
    · Lake Barrine
    · Mungalli Creek Dairy
