Port Douglas, North Queensland Australia.

Get on your bike!

Port Douglas is mostly flat so cycling is a great way to get around and see the town. The cycle/foot paths go all the way from Macrossan street to Four Mile and, being on a peninsula there's no need to worry about getting lost. Bikes are available for hire in town and at some accommodation houses.

Mossman Gorge

Head to Mossmon Gorge (20km north from Port Douglas) for a refreshing freshwater swim or rainforest walk. There is no entry fee, however transport to/from Port Douglas will need to be arranged. There are a number of bus services available. Extra care should be taken after rain as water currents can be very strong.

Have a BBQ

One of the best kept secrets in Port' is that there are a number of parks with free gas BBQs available for public use. Head to the supermarket or Four Mile Seafood Take-Away for BBQ packs. Using the bins provided and cleaning-up when finished will be appreciated by those that use the facilities next.

Live Music

Port Douglas has long been famous for top quality live music. The Central Hotel, Courthouse Hotel, Iron Bar, and Fluid Nightclub regularly provide live music ranging from local performers to touring international acts.
