Good weather forecast

Its looking like great weather forecast for Mission Beach over the next couple of days, so if your here visiting then get yourself out to the Great Barrier Reef, visit Dunk Island by sea kayak, ferry or water taxi, White Water Raft the Tully River or do a Skydive and land on our beautiful beach. There are many ways to enjoy the outdoors and we at the Mission Beach Information Station can help you to choose.

Island Sailing from Mission Beach

If your in Mission Beach and interested in sailing then you should enjoy "The Otherside". Its a 10.97 metre blue water catamaran. They offer a relaxing cruise around the local coast and islands, including Dunk, Timana, Bedarra, Wheeler and Combe. Come in and see us at the Mission Beach Information Station and we will help you make it happen.

Accommodation in Cairns

It seems that the backpacker hostels in Cairns are busy this weekend, so if your travelling from Mission Beach today please call in and see us at the Mission Beach Information Station first. We can help you find somewhere to stay before you leave, that way you don't have to hunt around yourself when you arrive.

Leaving Mission Beach

We have had some lovely visitors staying in Mission Beach, and coming in to the Mission Beach Information Station every other day to work on their laptop. Today they told me that this is probably their last time in as they have to head off to Sydney on Sunday. I can't believe how quickly their six week visit has gone, its easy to spend that much time in such a beautiful spot...... thats why we live here.

Market Days

Its Monster Market time at Mission Beach again this weekend. They are always fantastic. Lots of local produce available. However this weekend I am going to go to the Yungaburra Markets on the Atherton Tablelands. They are on the last Saturday of each month. For 12 years now I have been trying to get there and this weekend I am finally going!!. Staying at the historic Yungaburra Pub will just top off a great weekend.

Bendigo Bank Community Branch

It's an exciting day in Mission Beach today with the opening of the Bendigo Bank Community Branch. Well done to the hardworking committee and the shareholders who have made this happen, its a fabulous asset to our town.

Dogs and Coconutz

Did you know that most dogs like eating coconuts. I hadn't had a coconut for a while so I strolled down to Mission Beach where there is always an abundance of coconuts. Brought a few home and opened them up and the dogs just zoomed on in for their share. Even my normally meat eating canines love it.

White Water Rafting

We have a big television here at the Mission Beach Information Station showing people having a great time white water rafting on the Tully River. Its a short drive from Mission Beach and with two companies running tours you can most times get to go on the day you want....a must for all thrill seekers. I keep looking at the screen and it makes me want to go again.

Sunny at the moment

Its looking pretty sunny outside today here in Mission Beach. It is forecast for scattered showers over the weekend but I'm hoping that they are wrong about this. At only 10/15 knots it is a great time to go out to the Reef for some snorkelling or scuba diving or a spot of fishing. Whatever you choose I hope you have fun!

Murray Falls

This Sunday I leave for a week long school camp at Murray Falls, a lovely spot about 45mins from Mission Beach. Murray Falls is a great camping, day tripping and swimming spot. Hopefully the rain will hold off for a few days for us to enjoy it !

Kurrimine Beach Horse Rides

KURRIMINE BEACH: Have a great time riding horses along the 20 kilometres of beach line available for your enjoyment. The ride takes place in a marine park on the edge of coastal jungle and the sea. Only 30 minutes drive from Mission Beach.

Gig guide

If your a local or a visitor to Mission Beach you will still be interested in the entertainment and activities happening around town. Don't forget to check out our Gig Guide, its easy to find, straight from our home page of the Mission Beach Information Station website. The page is updated as soon as the information comes to us!

Kurrimine Beach Horse Rides

A new Horse riding venue has set up in the Mission Beach area. Kurrimine Beach Horse Rides is only about a 1/2 hour drive from Mission Beach. Enjoy up to 20 km's of beach riding in the pristine environment of Kurrimine Beach on the edge of coastal jungle and Marine Park. All riding abilities are catered for so come along and join them for a ride. Come into the Mission Beach Information Station for more info and maps. Giddyup! What are you waiting for?

The Python & The Green Tree Frog

I was amazed yesterday to walk into my outdoor bathroom and hear the last crying croak from my resident green tree frog who has been living in the laundry tub for the last year or so. Yes I did cry but as the most amazing metalic blue tree python slithered back out to the forest with my friend half consumed I did witness the beauty of this place we live in right there.....in my bathroom!! Mission Beach still has that natural beauty and all the critters within it (except my green tree frog). I hope we can keep it that way for a while yet.

Rain rain go away

It's the first day of a new school term for me and it's bucketing down here in Mission Beach. I would much rather be watching movies in bed.

Good places to eat

There are so many eating options here in Mission Beach. Friends and I went out to Scotty's Beach Bar & Grill ( or just Scotty's to the locals ) last night and really enjoyed out meals. The variety allows for all tastes with lasange, reef & beef, fish, rissotto and lamb all good choices for us. Save yourself the trouble of cooking and doing the dishes and eat out at one of our great restaurants.

End of school holidays

Its a bright sunny day for the end of school holidays here in Mission Beach. With students going back to school on Tuesday I'm sure they are getting out and enjoying themselves on such a fine day, as tomorrow will be sure to be spent organising themselves and their parents for school.

Accommodation in Mission Beach

If your coming to visit Mission Beach then you will be happy to know that there is a great range of accommodation options available to you. Bed & Breakfast, backpacker hostels, caravan parks, resorts, motels and self contained. So many choices. Some places even offer deals like stay 7 pay 6. We can help you to decide what suits you and your family here at the Mission Beach Information Station so give us a call on 07 4068 8699.

Lazy Days

Today I enjoyed lunch with my mum at one of the many cafe's up at North Mission Beach. The atmosphere up there is great and the food is not too bad either. After lunch we had a cruise around some of the local shops and art galleries, what a great way to spend the afternoon!

The Kennedy Walking Track

Well with the glorious weather that has finally been bestowed upon us this weekend, I think I shall pack my backpack and head down the Kennedy Walking Track. This is one of the most picturesque walks that Mission Beach has to offer. Starting from the Southern end of South Mission Beach, the 7km track winds around headlands and across deserted beaches to the Hull River mouth.
This walk is a must if you have a day to spare in Mission Beach. Come into the Mission Beach Information Station for maps and directions

Watching the rafters

Yesterday we drove from Mission Beach to Tully Gorge to watch the white water rafters. There is a lookout where you can go to see them, and with 21 rafts going past it was quite a sight to see. The gorge itself is fabulous and we have photos to prove it. Topped off with a picnic right on the river further down and the day was just perfect. Come into the Mission Beach Information Station and I can tell you exactly where to go so you can see them too.

Full Town

Mission Beach is just about at peak season. All the southern folk have started to stream into town chasing the warmer weather. Its not that tropical though!! I have certainly been wearing my Ugg Boots for the last few weeks!

Busy in Mission Beach

Well its been a busy morning for me today at Mission Beach, lots of people around to enjoy our lovely piece of paradise. I have sold bus tickets, booked a trip to the Whitsundays and Fraser Island, accommodation in Agnes Waters/1770 and had people on the internet and printing out holiday snaps......so as you can see we can help you with a variety of things here at the Mission Beach Information Station. Come in and visit us when you get to town.

Pandanus Beachfront Apartments

Friends of mine are staying here in Mission Beach, they have the whole family with them, 8 adults and 5 children. I found the perfect accommodation at Pandanus Beachfront Apartments, they have the complex to themselves and the children are quite comfortable roaming from one apartment to another. Its across the road from the beach and close to a park with a playground, and of course I also ordered beautiful sunny weather for them, how nice of me!

School holidays

You can tell its school holidays time, there are lots of visitors in Mission Beach at the moment. I am so glad the weather is being kind to them, bright sunny days and cool nights ( which is great for sleeping I think ).

Its good to be home

I have been away from Mission Beach for 10 days visiting my family down south, and I can tell you in its very very cold down there. As I walked on the lovely South Mission Beach this morning in my shorts and t-shirt I can tell you that as much as I love my family it is good to be home!

Carnarvon Gorge Wilderness Lodge

CARNARVON GORGE via Rolleston:

Skydive in Mission Beach

Today is the most fabulous day for a skydive in glorious Mission Beach. I booked a young fellow for a skydive yesterday. He is jumping today. Its his 14th birthday and he was just so excited!!! The legal age to jump is 14 so its a day he has been looking forward to for a long time. Have fun Lochlin!!!

Busy Weekend in Mission

On the weekend of the 19th of July, there are a couple of weddings as well a surf lifesaving carnival happening here in Mission Beach. I was looking for accommodation for a family this morning and a lot places were already booked out . . . so if your thinking about visiting us on that weekend, its best to book as soon as possible.

The Big Night

Well tonight is the big night everyone has been waiting for in Mission Beach. Its the celebration of the re launch of The Elandra Resort (previously The Horizon). The theme is 'safari glamour' so it will be fantastic to see everybody out tonight in their finest. Singer Grace Jones from America is the nights big act. Wow!!! Its going to be a big one!!

Woolies is finally here !!

Wow it's all happening here in Mission Beach. Today Woolworths had its grand opening next door and judging by the packed car park, its a big hit with the locals, I can't wait to go in and check it out!!

Film Crew Back In Town

Its great to see the film crew for 'Sea Patrol' coming back into Mission Beach. They certainly liven up the town when they are here. We love them!! Welcome back everybody!!

New Big Screen

The Mission Beach Information Station has a fantastic new TV. Its a really big flat screen so if you book your Skydive ticket here with us you can play your DVD on it. WOW!!!! Be on the big screen so you and all your friends can watch!!

Croc spotting

The River Rat Eco Cruise down the Hull River at Mission Beach is back in action as of 23 June. Anyone coming to the far north and wanting to see crocodiles in their natural habitat should c

ertainly not miss this. Guaranteed to see crocodiles on this 'sunset cruise' with a difference!!

Cold Night in Mission.

Last night the temperature here in Mission Beach got down to a very cold 10 degrees . . looks like winter has finally hit us.

Strong Wind Warning

Mission Beach isn't usually a windy place but today on this sunny Sunday we have a strong wind warning. Damn we just can't get the weather right lately.The rain goes away and the we get the wind instead. Oh well !!

Exam's finally over

I had the last of my mid-semester exams this morning , thank god for that ! Now I can get back to work here at the Mission Beach Information Station and enjoy all that beautiful Mission Beach has to offer.

Seeing a Cassowary

My Mum came to visit me in Mission Beach for 10 days at the end of May, and I am sad to say that she did not get to see a cassowary. Yesterday I was driving to Cairns and managed to see one walking along the side of the road and thought about how unlucky Mum was not to see this most amazing animal that we locals here at Mission Beach are so proud of.

Roundabouts!!

Well it looks like Mission Beach has its first roundabout. Wow!!! We really are becoming modernized here! When do we see the first set of traffic lights? Hopefully not in my time....

The Elandra at Mission Beach

For those who know Mission Beach you may remember visiting or staying at The Horizon, it has had a face lift and has come back as The Elandra at Mission Beach. From the accounts I have heard so far it is quite fabulous, so if your in town and looking for a great place to stay or would like to dine out then the new look restaurant is a very good option on both counts.

Not visiting Mission Beach

I will be driving from Mission Beach to Airlie Beach this weekend because my friend from PNG is competing in the Outrigger Regatta on Hamilton Island. I'm disappointed that she can't visit Mission Beach while she is back in the country, as there is so much I want to show her about this fabulous place I live in, oh well hopefully next time.

Walking in Mission Beach

I was shown a great walk in Mission Beach yesterday. You start at the end of Bingil Bay beach and walk through the rainforest around Ninney Point and on to Brooks Beach. As it isn't a National Park walk it is not maintained so in places it has quite an off road feeling but was absolutely fabulous all the same. Next time we are going to pack a picnic to enjoy on Brooks Beach, and I think most of the time you would have it all to yourself.......just lovely!

A new addition to town

We have a new addition to Mission Beach, friends of mine had a lovely baby boy yesterday, after a bit of a wait they are really pleased to welcome him to the family.....Congratulations!

Woolworths in Mission

Mission Beach finally has a major supermarket, Woolworth's started going up a few months ago and it's nearly finished, how exciting !! Hopefully it will be ready for opening before the end of this month.

Back in Mission Beach

Well I am back in beautiful Mission Beach after a fantastic weekend sailing in the Whitsundays. Its nice there but I reckon you can't beat Mission Beach. Its so laid back, tropical and untouched (so far). Lets hope it stays that way!!

Little bit of rain around

There has been a little bit of rain around in Mission Beach for the long weekend, not enough to stop people from enjoying themselves though. The good thing is that even if its wet its not cold and thats what I love about not living down south anymore.

Being prepared

I have chatted before about when to be prepared and when not to be.....yesterday I had a situation where I believe perhaps they should have been. I received a call at about 3pm from a family of 2 adults and 6 children travelling to Mission Beach, arriving at 7pm and wanting accommodation for 1 night. Now there are 2 things which make this tricky, 1 is fitting 8 people in and the 2nd is doing so on a long weekend where most of the accommodation is already fully booked.......a time where being prepared would have been good I think as I was unable to help them.

Coconut Caravan Resort

Whitsunday Sailing

I will be leaving beautiful Mission Beach this weekend to go to another just as beautiful place. The Whitsundays. Sailing to the infamous Whitehaven Beach on Sunday. Can't wait!!

Great Barrier Reef

You can visit the Great Barrier Reef from Mission Beach quite easily. One of the dive companies Calypso have been seeing lots of fish and turtles on their day trips to Eddy Reef. Come and see us at the Mission Beach Information Station if you would like to snorkel or scuba dive the Reef.

Rainforest Walks

What I love about Mission Beach are the lovely rainforest walks. With my Mum here visiting from Victoria I really wanted to show off about how good a place it is to live. We went and did the Lacey Creek and the Licuala Walks, which are looking really great at the moment, she is so excited to see so much green, not much in her drought area. I was hoping she would get to see a cassowary but so far this has not happened, oh well we have a couple of days to go.

Mareeba Wetlands

If your heading north from Mission Beach to the Cairns Highlands, then I can recommend you go and visit the Mareeba Tropical Savanna and Wetland Reserve. There are 4 different self guided walks around the reserve, a boat cruise going out 3 times a day as well as a sunset cruise. You can even stay there in deluxe tents. I took my Mum there and we had a great time, we did one of the 1 hour walks which took us around the lagoon and then enjoyed a boat cruise where we were able to see the Lotus flower up close, they are just beautiful. As it was an overcast day we didn't get to see the resident crocodiles or turtles who normally lay out and sun themselves on a bright day. A great day out.

Paronella Park

If your visiting or living in Mission Beach and have access to a car then I strongly recommend you go to Paronella Park, it is an easy 40 minute drive. They run a 45 minute guided tour every 30 minutes and then you get to wander around this fabulous park at your leisure. My mum is visiting from Victoria so I took her along, this was my third time and I really wanted her to enjoy it as much as I do, which she did, phew!

Mission Fitness

For a little place like Mission Beach, the local gym is a pretty popular place. I have been going to the afternoon aerobics classes (which are fantastic) and there are always heaps of people doing their own thing with the usual gym equipment. So if your looking for a quite, friendly place to get fit, try Mission Fitness!!

Subway in Mission Beach

People keep asking me. "Is there a Subway in Mission Beach?...Is there a MacDonalds in Mission Beach?....Where is Coles? .....Wow....Is there a Birch Carroll Cinema someone asked yesterday!!! No...!!!!!

Mum is coming to visit

After almost 2 years living in Mission Beach, my mum is finally coming to visit. I collect her from the airport in Cairns tomorrow. I can't wait to show her around town, so she will be able to see why I love living here. I'm hoping she gets some clear blue skies not just the rain we have had over the last couple of days.

Travelling by Coach

If your travelling in and out of Mission Beach on Greyhound or Premier then I would suggest that you buy your ticket early. Some of the coaches are already starting to fill up and this will only happen more and more as it gets busier over the next couple of months. I know its fun to cruise along sometimes but if you need to be somewhere at a certain time and day then get your ticket, its not fun if you miss out on things.

Rafting weather

We are expecting a bit of wet weather in Mission Beach this weekend. This does not mean that you have to stay indoors.Why not go white water rafting on the famous Tully River?!! There are two company's that raft the Tully and both will pick you up from wherever you stay in Mission Beach. Rafting is a great, fun day out regardless of the weather conditions.

Winter is Here

Winter has come to Mission Beach early this year it seems. I have had the old PJ's out the last couple of nights. Going to have to go and buy some ugg boots in Cairns this week for sure!!

How good is the weather

I know I know I shouldn't always be bragging about how fantastic the weather is here in Mission Beach, but seriously it has been absolutely heavenly for the last 4 days. I can't help but tell my friends and family from down south, a bit mean I know but I'm feeling quite smug about where I live at the moment. You should come and enjoy it too!

What to do in Cairns

Lots of travellers going north to Cairns from Mission Beach this weekend. I have been helping people organise trips to Cape Tribulation, Great Barrier Reef trips, skydives, sea kayaking and much much more......now I want to go on holidays too.

Sea Kayaking to Dunk Island

I am really wishing that I wasn't working tomorrow as it is going to be a great day for sea kayaking to Dunk Island. I know that Coral Sea Kayaking are taking out a full day trip, leaving from South Mission Beach and I want to be going too.

Beautiful day in Mission Beach

It has been an absolutely beautiful day in Mission Beach today. I really enjoyed sitting down at the beach to eat my lunch, the water was just like glass. I really wished that I didn't have to leave to come to work but I know that another day just like it is always going to come along, thats why I live here.

Manta Ray B&B

Destination Whitsundays

AIRLIE BEACH:

Rainforest Apartments

Mission Beach Rainforest Apartments are located in a culdesac a very short walk to one of Tropical North Queensland's best beaches - 14km of clean sand with not a mangrove or mudflat in sight! They feature 3, 2 bedroom apartments amongst a tropical rainforest setting.

Wet Cross Country

It has been bucketing down with rain all day and it doesnt look like its going to stop any time soon. The Tully High School cross country is on this afternoon and at the moment the course looks more like a lake than a running track. Thankfully I'm here working at the Mission Beach Information Station instead of running around the muddy cane fields.

Mareeba Tropical Savanna & Wetland Reserve

MAREEBA: Open daily from 9am - 4.30pm this wonderful reserve is a must for the nature enthusiast. There is 2000ha of savanna woodlands, grasslands and lily-decked lagoons to explore. Visit Clancy's Lagoon Visitor Centre and drop in to the Overflow Cafe for a bit to eat. Enjoy a nature eco cruise or paddle a canoe. Jabiru Safari Lodge offer luxury tented safari cabins if you would like somewhere to stay. Reserve is closed for February-March wet season.

Mothers Day

I hope all the Mum's in Mission Beach had a lovely day yesterday. There were certainly plenty of families hanging out together on the beach. People were flying kites, building sandcastles, fishing, walking their dogs and generally having a great time. That's what I love about living in far north Queensland, we can still do this in May, gotta love that!

Buying your bus ticket

If your travelling in and out of Mission Beach by bus then there are plenty of options going North and South......but you do need to book and buy your tickets early, otherwise you may not get to where your going when you had planned to. All tickets can be purchased from the Mission Beach Information Station.

Going out to the Reef

If your staying or living in Mission Beach and are keen to go out to the Great Barrier Reef, then give us a call or visit our website at Mission Beach Information Station, because Quick Cat has some great specials for the month of May and June.

Congratulations to Scottys

One of our local backpackers here in Mission Beach, Scotty's Beach House is celebrating their 20th birthday today. All the staff at Mission Beach Information Station would like to congratulate them and wish them all the best for the next 20 years. I wonder how many sore heads there will be at work tomorrow!

Yoga in Mission Beach

If you live in Mission Beach or are just visiting and are really keen to start or continue yoga then you have several great options. There are quite a few different times and locations so I think you will be able to find one that suits you, get out and do it you won't regret it!

Country Cottage Backpackers & The Woolshed Guesthouse

Its Raining Cats & Dogs

Well the rain has surely been coming down in Mission Beach this morning. Yes we could do with a drop but I think we have had enough!!! So rain rain go away....come again another day! We want to go for a skydive!!!!

Happy Birthday to me

Well its my birthday today and I can't think of a better place to spend it than here in Mission Beach, it is an absolutely fabulous day outside and I can't wait to finish work so I can get out and enjoy it. My day will finish up with a BBQ with friends tonight.....just lovely.

Its getting busier

As we head into the busy time at Mission Beach we recommend you book ahead for tours and accommodation. There is nothing worse than having a plan for where you want to stay or what you want to do and missing out because there is no availability. Let us here at the Mission Beach Information Station help you out with anything from Cairns to Brisbane.

Licuala Walk

As it was a pupil free day here in Mission Beach today we decided to go on a picnic. The Licuala Walk is a perfect spot as you can go for a walk first and then eat. We headed off on a quest to see turtles which unfortunately did not come out to play today but we had fun watching the fish swimming around instead. Then we decided to go inland off the main track to head into the water hole, oh how adventurous that ended up being, we had leech bites, wait-a-while scratches, mud all over us and huge grins from all involved as it turned out to be lots of fun indeed. If you have a couple of hours to spare get out there and enjoy the rainforest like we did.

The Rain Is Back!!

Well I just turned around and looked out the window. Its raining again in Mission Beach. Can you believe it!! After a week of picture postcard weather I was getting used it. Oh well.....I guess we have to have that rainfall to keep Mission Beach looking as beautiful as ever.

Weekend Weather

The weather in Mission Beach last weekend was just sooo nice. Not a cloud in sight and the water looked as flat as it could possibly be. If only I had a boat to enjoy the reef and tropical islands. Hopefully this weekend will be just as good.

Mission Beach Cafes

Mission Beach certainly is looking up with the addition of yet another two absolutely fantastic cafes in the last year. The 'Mint' cafe at Wongaling Beach and 'Just Saskias' at South Mission Beach. I have dined at both and was suitably impressed. The food is super fresh and the service is Mission Beach friendly!! So if you feel like a lazy start to a Saturday morning with the paper you know where to head!

Cruising to the Islands

What fabulous fun my friends had on the weekend, they took their boat out for a cruise from Mission Beach to Brooke Island, Hinchinbrook Island and Dunk Island. They even stopped for some fantastic snorkelling in a protected area near Brooke Island. I so wish I was out with them and not working yesterday because is was such a glorious day.

Flying out

If your leaving Mission Beach and have a flight from Cairns you must remember to co-ordinate your flight with the bus transport, otherwise you end up like the young lady in here today struggling to match them up. You have to add in the time to travel to Cairns, travel to the airport and then allow for your check in time.......not always a good idea to leave it to the day before. Come in to the Mission Beach Information Station and we will help you to sort it!

I love having friends to visit

I really really love having friends come and visit me here in Mission Beach, unfortunately they were only here for a very short time. We did go out and have a lovely dinner at Nana Thai and enjoyed a leisurely breakfast in the sun at home. Next time I hope they can stay longer because there is so much I wanted to show them.

Anzac Day

This morning I woke up bright and early at 4am to attend the dawn service parade in Tully on behalf of both of my grandfathers. It was a nice surprise to see so many Mission Beach locals also attending to pay their respects. This was my first dawn service and definitely won't be my last. =)

Onna Mission

If you are looking for quality beachfront accommodation at an affordable price, then you had better get Onna Mission. Whether you are looking for a quiet getaway, a long weekend or a fun filled family or friends holiday, this is the place for you. Just 30 paces to the beautiful shores of Wongaling Beach, and almost in the shadow of Dunk Island, Onna Mission is nestled in the best beachfront position, yet central to all the tourism, shopping and dining amenities Mission Beach has to offer.

Another good reason to love Mission Beach

Today I was lucky enough to witness another good reason for living in Mission Beach. I was sitting down at the beach at Bingil Bay eating my lunch when I saw a mantaray swimming in front of us. It was having a great time swimming backwards and forwards. It was a fabulous treat for my friend and I, and of course we had to make the comment that this is why we do not live in the city.

Early morning walk

I live in South Mission Beach and I must say I was really impressed with the number of early morning walkers that you see out and about. I headed off about 7.15am this morning and I certainly wasn't alone. I can't wait for the high tide time to change though so I can get back out onto the beach, its fabulous checking out the view of Dunk Island as you get your morning exercise.

Its cooling down in Mission Beach

I just love this time of year in Mission Beach, where it is just starting to cool down. The nights are perfect for sleeping now, and of course the days, well today anyway, are bright and sunny. So come and visit, you can take a walk through the rainforest, snorkel the Great Barrier Reef, skydive, or raft the Tully River to name a few of the wonderful adventures in Mission Beach.
