Travelling from Townsville to Cairns

Postby pipground on Thu Mar 10, 2011 12:40 am



I am on holiday in Townsville at the end of March this year with my husband and son and want to travel from Townsville to Cairns and ask which form of travel is the best, cheapest and fastest. Also can anyone recommend a reasonable priced hotel?

Many thanks

Mission Beach very nice, right on the beach somewhere around $180 per dbl
if you like looking at the rainforest and heritage, at Paronella Park they have rooms there or across the road at the hotel reasonably priced but just to see Paronella Park itself is worth the trip, or Tully Motel
It would would normally take us 5 hours comfortable driving Tsv to Cairns pulling up for a snack along the way at Cardwell by the sea

Hope this helps..
thanks......

My fiancee and I will be traveling the east coast of Australia for a couple of weeks in May for our honeymoon, and have decided to take the bus from Townsville (after spending 4 nights on Magnetic Island) to Cairns, where we're finishing our trip. It seems that the bus is significantly less expensive than flying ($50 to $60 per person vs. $185+), only takes about 6 hours, and we thought it would be a good way to see some of the coast and countryside. We also thought about taking the train but it doesn't run on the day we need to travel.

Cairns is the heart of Tropical North Queensland and Australia's primary gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. Cairns is a vibrant, eclectic city framed by the spectacular twin backdrops of rain forest mountain ranges and the sparkling Coral Sea. Arrival in Cairns is simple, with several domestic and international flights arriving each day. And once you're in Cairns, stop by the Gateway Discovery Centre on the Cairns Esplanade. The centre will help you find plan your ideal, tropical holiday.
I like staying at: Tuscany Villas.

Sorry about the double posting. Didn't realize there is no way to delete postings once they are put up. Did the second one so it would show up on the 'Australia' thread as well as the general Australia/NZ/Antarctica thread...

Cairns is the heart of Tropical North Queensland and Australia's primary gateway to the Great Barrier Reef in all of the country. The tourists take much interest when they come to this place for visit.
