Pontoon at Clump Point Boat Ramp

I went and had a look at the new pontoon at the Clump Point Boat Ramp. How fantastic this is, for the tour companies that operate from there to the everyday person who wants to go fishing or just for a cruise. It looks so much safer and is a wonderful addition to Mission Beach. Well done to the "locals" that made this happen.

Beach Bus

The Beach Bus operates Monday to Saturday and runs north and south, from Connors Corner in Bingil Bay through to the Horizon at South Mission Beach. Services operate from 9am to 6pm. With prices starting from $3 per section this little bus is a great way to explore the 4 villages of

River Rat Eco Cruise

Sunday night my Mum and I enjoyed the River Rat Eco Cruise at Mission Beach. It's a lovely cruise along the Hull River looking for crocodiles and putting in a crab net. The really fun part is when it gets dark you get out the spotlight and look along the river bank for the 2 little red lights that are the tell tale sign of a crocodile. Unfortunately the crabs had to go back in as they were undersized but that's okay it was all for fun. We had a lovely picnic at Hull Heads after a short stroll along the beach to look at the islands, you can see the Family Group, Dunk, Bedarra and Hinchinbrook. Just lovely!
