10 Days Queensland & 10 Days of real Adventure with “wild” animals!
I was already last year in Queensland and therefore i looked forward to my new exciting journey. Australia is known to be very large, so if you plan to visit Queensland you should stay al least few weeks to see the most important places and catch the beautiful impressions. Queensland is about five times as large as Germany and is located in the northeast of the continent.
Noosa , Visiting the Australia Zoo – known as the Home of the Crocodile Hunter
Steve Irwin (known as Crocodile Hunter from the TV Show) build up together with his family the zoo!
My frist Kangaroo Selfie
Me & the crocodile (its not real, not this one)
Don’t miss the spectacular show with some wild animals.
Here you can see the real ones
But what would be Australia without Koalas ??? Of course you can see them here and ask for a chance to hold them, as i did. They are pretty heavy. This sweet lady is just one year old, but it feels like holding a big full of heavy stones in your arm.
Ich und der kleine (schwere) Koala
If you plan to visit the Zoo, you should take a look on the website first to see current shows and get more informations . ->
Lady Elliot Island
Anyone traveling to Queensland, should definitely make a trip to Lady Elliot Island. This is the southern coral Island of the Great Barrier Reef with a very intact coral world. It’s a very short flight from Harvey Bay Airport – about 30 minutes and you can enjoy the real paradise feeling.
Get ready for the flight!
You can enjoy a spectacular view during the flight – don’t miss to get your camera ready
Only 30 minutes later,
This is lady Elliot Island from the plane
Let’s go and check in.
You choose from different cabins, but each is close to the beach
This was my cosy cabin, just few meteres from the beach
the restaurant has a fantastic beach view
Just amazing sunsets every evening
and even more amazing sunrises
This is what i call paradise
A colorfull underwater world is waiting to be explored
I was looking for some turtles
But i found also some mantas around
Thats my view from the bungalow – a warm and sunny view
Should i ever come again to Queensland, i will definitely spend few days more on that Island to enjoy that real island feeling.
Just take a look on the website to get all updates and important news an i case you are planing your next trip: Lady Elliot Island
3. Fraser Island – K’gari (translation: Paradise)
Fraser Island is a part of Queensland and probably the largest sand island in the world. The Aborigines call it “K’gari” , which means “paradise”. The Island is twice as big as the German Island Rügen and offers a wide range of different adventureus activities – that one that i did the next days.
The Beauty Spots Tour (4WD) started for us from the Kingfisher Bay Resort towards Lake McKenzie. The tour is spectacular as its a proper shaking bus tour through the woods on a sandy any bumpy road for about 50 minutes – happy they invented seat belts 🙂
Lake McKenzie – Clear bleu warm water and white sandy beach
This is how i enjoyed the view
Even in winter times its warm enough to go for a swim
The Dingos look very cute, but be careful as they are not like dogs. Avoid to feed or even try to cuddle them.
Thats the bus driver lady – hell driver as i called her as she managed to drive 60kmh on the beach
Keep your eyes open, as its usual for this beach , that you will cross other vehicles here
After the bus drive, you can take the beach plane for a 15 minutes view tour over the beach
Prepare for Landing on the beach
Thats the famous wrack of Maheno
Beach Airport
I wouldn’t call Australian people crazy, but its more then incredible to see buses driving on the beach or even more planes landing for the next scenic flight. Thats not only kind of crazy but its unbelievable and even more worth it to visit Queensland.
Wanggoolba Creek – A walk through the rainforest
After the beschied ist time to get more junge feeling – therefore you should stop at “Wanggoolba Creek” machen.
If you would ask me before hoe does a real tropical rainforest look like ? I would answer: Exactly like this!
Incredible view
Few minutes later and you are exploring a tropical rain forest
Cairns – The tropical adventure
Cairns is probabaly the most famous place in Queensland and the 14th largest city in Australia. It well known for the tropical climate, thats why many people decide to visits Cairns too. Port Douglas is a great place to start different tours to the Great Barrier Reef . My schedule said : Explore the tropical part of Cairns and meet the Pythons and Crocodiles.
You will impressed how different this part of the journey is compared to the first one. Getting the chance to enjoy the luxury jungle life and doing it like real a backpacker in Australia does. I can not say which i like more as both experiences are nice to have for some reasons.
The Thala Beach Nature Reserve looks very magical at the first sight, but still very tropical and natural. It is a mixture of luxury and the natural way.
These are the bungalows
Looking pretty simple from outside
But very luxurious and comfortably inside with an amazing view from the balcony
I couldn’t complain about my view
In case you like hang around at the beach
Tropical View
Thats a great beach view
and the other side as well
You can find many coconuts at the beach
And they are very tasty
At the end a very special experience, as we were told about the daily visitor called #AppleTheWallaby . That cute Kangaroo was looking for food. If you want to see all videos and images done by guests – look out for #Appelthewallaby
If you would like to see him and feed him with bananas or sweet potatoes – you should stay here for few days – at the “Thala Beach Nature Reserve”

- Eating banana

- or sweet potatoes
Daintree Rainforest & Cape Tribulation – The ultimate Australia experience!
Now its time for the real jungle adventure! Off to the jungle eating fruits and jumping like Tarzan! The Daintree Rainforest is 135 million years old, and the oldest rainforest in the world. Approximately 430 different species birds have their home here , and of course some pythons and crocodiles too.
Getting ready for the first adventure – let get some food – typical jungle food 🙂
Kangaroo Meat, Crocodile Balls and some Emu 🙂
Now the ladies are ready for Jungle Surfing!
The Crew
I am not sure about the helmets
Hanging tough – this is how we do it (Hmm… wasn’t that a song )
After all the Jungle surfing action we got a real Bush Tucker Lunch – directly from the Rainforest
Its very tasty and all the fruits from the forest
Daintree – Heritage Lodge & Spa
It’s getting serious with the jungle life – No Wifi, no service at all and swimming in the pond with crocodiles !
Let’s go!
Welcome to the reception
These are our sweet bungalows for the night:-)
My bed ( i had only this room and a restroom
This was the clear pond for swimming – i am not kidding now ( There is a sign on the other side with “Beware of Crocodiles” )
But be careful as its bit slippery
This is what i call “The real Jungle Life! – AWESOME
Just few small wooden bungalows located in the forest, a crystal clear turquoise pond and some animal noises – that it! The topical humidity make the feeling real! i can recommend to stay here for 2 or 3 night to get this experience and feel one with the nature. You can find all informations right here: Heritage Lodge & Spa
Cape Tribulation Beach – This is my favorite – I would like to stay here few days more if i could !
The trip was already adventurous, exciting and sometimes bit scary for me, as i don’t like snakes or crocodiles at all. But the last days of my trip at Cape Tribulation Beach made the journey even more perfect.
WARNING – I wasn’t kidding about the Crocodiles
Lets go snorkeling and explore the Jungle with the ladies!
I am in love with that kind of beaches
Thats our boat – waiting for a spectacular ride
This boat ride is nothing if you have a weak stomach! The captain enjoy the speed and the waves and you will feel every wave on the boat and in your face too 🙂 . It was the cooles boat ride i had even in my life. After my stomach get used to the speed and bumpy ride i enjoyed the music and the view while arrived at the Great Barrier Reef – 45 Minutes and we are at Mackay.
I am Stil thing about adding the video from the ride here… guess i will do this later !
Thats me!
The Great Barrier Reef is known as the underwater paradise – and its truly is
Here we are – happy and wet 🙂
Thanks to the Captain and his crew from the Ocean Safari Tours ! You rock! I need to come back.
Back from the Tour we could rest in our bungalows and enjoy the silence here.
That my house and my wet clothes from the ride 🙂
Lets go and grab some food
This the Restaurant
My food
Just few steps and you have this awesome beach!
No words needed
Create you own capture!
I have plenty images more 🙂
ok last one!
Omg , thats it ! The journey is over here! I had 10 amazing adventurous days, and enjoyed especially the last days with my ladies. We were eating jungle fruits, waiting for snakes, jumping from one tree to another and at the end we made it! We survived in the jungle! This is why i need to write a special thanks to my ladies crew!
Dear Anne- Solange, Franzi, Cecilie and the best mummy in the world (thats how she called herself) “Tracy”. I miss you! You rock !
I cannot describe how i miss the time with you in the jungle when i see all the images now.
Tough and pretty
always having fun
The special thanks goes to the whole team of the Tourism of Queensland for such a fantastic organization and an unforgettable journey!!
