PORT DOUGLAS

Port Douglas has no traffic lights and no parking meters. The proud people of Port Douglas fought a valiant battle to stop the McDonalds restaurant chain from setting up camp in their charming little town. Eventually, the Supreme Court found in favour of the restaurant giant, but to this day there are no golden arches. So come and enjoy the charm of Port Douglas... but bring your own Big Macs!

PORT DOUGLAS IS, IN ITS OWN RIGHT, A WONDERFUL DESTINATION- FAVOURED BY VISITING MOVIE STARS AND CELEBRITIES. WE HAVE ALSO INCLUDED ON THIS PAGE ANY POINTS OF INTEREST THAT ARE WITHIN A HALF HOUR DRIVE OF PORT DOUGLAS.

Picturesque Port Douglas is just 70 kilometres north of Cairns International Airport, along a spectacular scenic coastal drive. Though a favourite destination for travellers of all walks, from scruffy backpackers to the rich and famous, Port Douglas has somehow managed to maintain its Tropical North Queensland seaside village charm. The town's relaxed ambience blends with the vibrant style of the sophisticated resorts and eateries to form a unique atmosphere that you won't find anywhere else in the world. An atmosphere that captures the hearts of visitors, an atmosphere that Port Douglas is very protective of.

Development in Port Douglas is limited to the height of the tallest tree. That generally means a maximum of three storeys, so you won't find towering skyscrapers spoiling your view here. In fact, many of the low-key resorts are tucked discretely into the forests around Port Douglas, and sometimes you wonder where all the tourists are.

Port Douglas largely owes its status as a major tourist destination to CHRISTOPHER SKASE, who played a key role in putting the formerly small town on the international tourist map when he built two resorts in the town that were among the largest in Australia.

If you are looking for an escape from the hustle and bustle of Cairns, Port Douglas is your perfect choice. And don't feel that you'll be left out of the action, because Port Douglas is well serviced with sailing, diving, snorkelling and fishing tours to the Great Barrier Reef, as well as tours to the Daintree Rainforest and the Northern Outback. Besides, almost all of the tour operators who depart from Cairns also offer transfers from Port Douglas. So it's the best of both worlds!

Heading north from Port Douglas, it's only 16 kilometres till you reach Mossman, a sugar growing town and the regional centre for the sugar industry. Visit our MOSSMAN page for more details about the town and the wonderful MOSSMAN GORGE, with its cool, clear freshwater swimming holes.

If you want to explore the region at your own pace, with the freedom and flexibility that you can only achieve by having your own wheels, please fill out the enquiry form on our CAR HIRE page. It might be a lot cheaper than you think.

No this does not mean they are sweet and sticky!

"Many people ask us how we can make dry wines from sweet fruits like Mango and Lychee" winemaker Tony Woodall says, "But grapes are the sweetest of all fruits. Grapes have the highest sugar level of any fruit."

Tony and Trudie run a boutique winery, which means that they grow the fruit, make the wine, bottle and label the wines on the farm. Amongst their range, Shannonvale winery boasts (27-4-2007) 3 Gold medal winners, 2 Silver and 4 Bronze. You can sample 5 Dry wines, 2 Medium wines, 2 not so sweet Dessert wines, and 5 Ports. Tony and Trudie have established that people enjoy having a wine actually tasting of the fruit that it is made from, so they make single-fruit wines, not blends.

Shannonvale's fruit is grown in the organic way; no chemicals are used on the fruit trees. Phone for days open.

NATURAL SITES

FOUR MILE BEACH
The town's spectacular Four Mile Beach is considered to be one of the north's best. The sand is so firm that the beach has been used for horse, motorcycle and foot races. Charles Kingsford Smith, the best-known early Australian aviator, also used it as a landing place when he was flying to New Guinea with the first official air mail.

Beginning at the northern rocky headland, Four Mile Beach stretches for kilometres without a trace of development. The beachfront homes and holiday accommodation are very well hidden behind the lush vegetation. During the stinger season, stinger nets are in place to provide safe swimming areas. At low tide, it's possible to walk to the edge of the reef from the long white expanse of the beach. Adjacent to the beach, Flagstaff Hill is the best place to capture spectacular views of the 'Port', as locals call it, the coastline and the Coral Sea.
