Tony and Kim Outdoor Adventures

Upon leaving Airlie Beach we sailed overnight on various NW and N ’ ly heading navigating through confined waters, continuing further up the East Coast of Australia to Yorkey ’ s Knob (Cairns). We arrived early morning to strong winds at Yorkey ’ s Knob and the Captain decided to cancel tender activities for shore excursions. So we missed out on our trip up the Skyrail and Kuranda town visit.

The ship carries 2020 passengers over 11 decks and offers itineraries to the South Pacific and Tropical Queensland coast. It was constructed in 1991 but has recently undergone a multi-million dollar update. Accommodation options range from quad-share inside cabins to full balcony suites, and some interconnecting cabins are available for families and small groups.

Our Top 3 Activities We Enjoy Up The Sunshine Coast 1. Glasshouse Mountains The 11 gorgeous peaks of the Glass House Mountains are found in the hinterland of Queensland's Sunshine Coast. They are about an hour's drive south of the Sunshine Coast's main hub, Noosa, or an hour north of the state's capital city, Brisbane.  A natural playground of walking tracks, horse trails and abseiling locations, the mountains are also home to six small townships, linked by rail and country roads. You'll also find the incredible Australia Zoo. Beerwah is the area's largest town, and sits in the shadow of Mount Beerwah, the mountains' largest peak.  There are several pretty walking trails here, including the 30 minute  Tibrogargan walking circuit  and the easy  Glass House Mountains Lookout Circuit  (which offers sweeping views to  Brisbane  and  Moreton Island ) 2.
