Forest Flying

Forest Flying is located at Finch Hatton Gorge - one hour's drive west of Mackay and one and a half hour's drive south west of Airlie Beach in The Whitsundays, Tropical North Queensland, Australia.Forest Flying takes you up into the canopy for a serene and educational experience where you are surrounded by lush tropical rainforest. You will glide over crystal clear creeks and see everything from a completely new angle. This tour (one to two hours depending on numbers)is peronalised and you are in control of your speed. Forest Flying is unique to Australia. Booking ahead is strongly advised.

My partner and I had a day out at Finch Hatton Gorge and went Forest Flying as our end to the day after swimming at Araluen Cascades. Donna and Dave were absolutely amazing throughout the whole experience, friendly, safe, knowledgeable about the local ecosystem. They taught us things we didn’t know about the bats / flying foxes, the Goannas and the plant life. There are even bright metallic blue butterflies. It was well worth the price and the hour or so drive out from Mackay. Make sure you have a GoPro if you do it so you can get good shots. Donna was helpful in talking videos for us at different stages. Definitely a unique and worthwhile experience if you’re in the Mackay region.

Stoney Creek Farmstay

Stoney Creek Farmstay is located in a valley at the base of Mt Bridgeman, here you can get perfect peace and quiet, our guests can't believe how quiet is is here, stay in our secluded cottage that is very unique, go exploring along the creek up Mt Bridgeman were you can swim in crystal clear water at the base of a water falls. Or you might choose to go horse riding along our picturesque trails where you can see right back to the coast. Our well trained horses suit all riders, we take novice riders to experienced, all ages from 5 yrs to 85 yrs. If you prefer we can take you four wheel driving on the same trails as the horses, stop at Pine Tree falls and go for a swim, be careful though you just might not want to leave.

Broken River

Reviewed By wasmit-4 - Alice Springs, Australia

There are 8 spots available. Internet booking. Only number 5 will fit an alpine with some careful manoeuvring!! (31 ft). Would not advise caravans or big motorhome unless you were a logging truck driver in a previous life!! Platypus in the mornings and evenings. Very quiet at nights. Short walk to the river. Bring your own fire wood as it is all softwood here and not supposed to cut in a national park. fire places provided. Drive in is single lane but stable surface. Toilets walking distance. Lots of rainforest birds. Would be great for family visit but if booked out you have neighbors only 20m away. There is plenty of opportunity to take a quiet walk into the rainforest along the river and you won't be bumping into people along the way. Short walk to the fancy resort for dinner once it opens again.

Mackay Region Visitor Information Centre Tours

Sunrise with Wallabies is one of Australia's iconic wildlife experiences, where Eastern Grey Kangaroos and Agile Wallabies come onto the beach to feed on mangrove seed pods. This is such a wonderful opportunity to capture a magical moment of sunrise on the beach with our national symbol, and reflect on our role in looking after Australia's natural beauty.

Eungella National Park

Reviewed By joniquelife - Australia, null

We went up to Eungella National Park to try and get sight of a Platypus at the Broken River ???? They are so cute the way they dive for food then resurface again and repeat. We saw heaps of them, you are guaranteed to see a platypus in this location! We did the lovely Palm Grove Track which is approximately a 11 return hike and after we had a yummy burger at the cafe nearby. Such a great day out with great views and sights! “Jonique Life” Follow our journey around Australia on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube as we highlight wonderful experiences and magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.

Cape Hillsborough National Park

Reviewed By joniquelife - Australia, null

We took a lovely little afternoon drive up to Cape Hillsborough National Park. Magical little spot with amazing lookouts covering every angle of the coast and out to Wedge Island which was a stunning walk but make sure you look out for the tides when you walk over! Picturesque forest walks, caves and you will see heaps of kangaroos ( the best time is early morning) “Jonique Life” Follow our journey around Australia on Facebook, Instagram, Tik Tok and YouTube as we highlight wonderful experiences and magical places you can add to your ever growing bucket list.

Time did not permit for me to enjoy the full circuit of roughly twenty kilometres of shared pathway which circles around Mackay. The circuit was designed for cyclists and pedestrians to discover the main attractions like the Bluewater Lagoon, Bluewater Quay, Sandfly Creek Environmental Reserve, Iluka Park, Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens and the Catherine Freeman walk, keep an eye out for six interesting outdoor public art installations along the way. I enjoyed the stretch from the Bluewater Lagoon around to Sandfly Creek Environmental Reserve and discovered four art sculptures, my personal favourite being the 'Mangrove Cap'.
