Escape winter in beautiful Port Douglas

While we wrap up invlayers and take hot showers to stay warm this time of year, the folks in Far North Queensland are relishing their balmy winter season.

In picturesque Port Douglas where the turquoise waters of the Coral Sea join with the lush green rainforest, daytime temperatures between June and August stay between 24–27 degrees.

With a winter climate that is ideal for outdoor activities without the intensity of the tropical summer heat and humidity, why not book some well-deserved time away this season to head north and unwind?
