It’s not all pool bars and rainforest tours in Far North Queensland.

There is something special about Brett’s Outback Tasting Adventures tour that makes it unique amongst other tours that depart out of Cairns.  For starters it’s not a ‘Reef’ or a ‘Rainforest’ tour which typically are the main draw cards for visitors in this area of the Far North. Secondly, it provides an experience to see […]

I was very excited about going out to Chillagoe as I had heard so many stories about how fantastic the caves are and this was going to be un-chartered territory for me. We meet our guide for the day Chocco at 7.15 am and after a brief introduction to our other fellow travelers we headed […]

  16 December, 2008 On Monday morning my partner and I woke to the rumbling of thunder and flashes of brilliant lightening illuminating the dark pre-dawn sky.  As the rain beat against the window I wondered how much fun the Billy Tea Bush Safari Chillagoe Caves and Outback day tour would be in this weather.  […]

We were picked up at the Smithfield bus stop at  7.15am and made our way up the Kuranda range. Our guide /driver Mark was accompanied for the day by Tina who came along to make sure that everything would run smoothly as this was only the 2nd time this tour has run. Mark pointed out […]

Keith and Angie took a tour to Undara Lava Tubes last weekend . The self drive trip was interesting with the variance in landscape as you travel the 290km drive.  We booked into the carriages which on 1st impression was adequate and cosy . We were a little disappointed when we realized there was no […]
