on a mission (beach)



mission beach - wongaling beach

flights to cairns
virgin australia - good deals $245-$265 one way deals


car hire - cairns airport
round trip with the usual suspects - compare prices at vroomvroom
sugarland car rentals has offices in cairns and mission beach, and lets you drive point to point
(there is a $50 drop off fee either way but that's still cheaper than keeping a car for a week to 10 days)



south from cairns mission beach
article, divine mission, in the age/smh, 4 july 2010












wongaling beach, about 5 km south of mission beach village

44 koda st, mission beach is a compound of 6 cottages, a few of which are available for rental

5/44 Koda Street, WONGALING BEACH



ka-koda 6, 6/44 koda st mission beach
one of 6 bungalows offering a carefree, relaxed atmosphere on a shoestring budget ($120 a night for 3 nights)

94 kennedy esplanade, south mission beach ($120 a night for 3 nights) absolute beach front holiday house
the holiday accommodation site that lists this house has photos showing mission beach the morning after cyclone yasi, and several weeks later - showing the signs of recovery
the best way for them to recover is for tourists to return to town, Recovering after Yasi but 'open for business'.

locals have launched something called the butterfly project to help attract tourists, Mission Beach to spread its wings with joy

Mission Beach is a butterfly haven and the community have always talked about butterfly trails for visitors and things like that...The Butterfly Project will see hundreds of handcrafted butterflies hanging from trees, letterboxes, fences, anywhere visible from the road.
it's a lovely idea
mission beach backs on to a national park and there are lots of walking tracks in the area.the licuala state forest is home to the ulysses butterfly, which is an incredible iridescent blue
there's a
water taxi to dunk island but dunk island was badly hit by the cyclone and isn't in any shape to host day-trippers or resort guests.


visit the babinda boulders 68 km south of cairns
although they are haunted by aboriginal legend
