So basically in early March I am going on a holiday, now I've never been up North Queensland before, hell I've never been further than Caloundra, so I'm after some ideas.
Now I haven't got a huge amount of money to spend, but I can save up some more if I really like the idea. But really don't want to go over $1500
I'm not much of a sights/looks type person, I mainly like to do stuff, eg, driving for a few hours for a good lookout wouldn't really appeal to me. But stuff that is hands on really does appeal to me.
This is a basic run down of what I have planned so far.
Saturday 3rd, fly up to Townsville, get hotel room, watch first Cowboys game
Sunday 4th, go to aquarium or maritime museum, or both.
Monday 5th, rent car, go to Townsville zoo for half day, than drive up to Cairns, stopping at Ingham, Tully, Innisfail on the way.
Tuesday 6th, drive up to Port Douglas, mess around, come back to Cairns.
Wednesday 7th, go to Blazing Trails place, do half-day horse riding, half-day quad biking. Will have sore arse that night.
Thursday 8th, fly back to Townsville, where my brother will pick me up and take me into Greenvale for a week.
Now I was tossing up the idea of renting a 4x4 and doing the Bloomsfield Track (?), the coastal road from Cairns to Cooktown. Weather conditions permitting of course. Apparently the track is beautiful and not to hard for as 4x4 newb like myself, but can anyone comment on that?
Chuck up some ideas people, this will be my first real holiday in my life, so I want to make it memorable.
