Welcome to paradise…

The Cassowary Coast is a truly unique part of Australia – at the centre of the Great Barrier Reef. The perfect getaway immersed in Reef, Rainforest, Indigenous Culture and tropical beaches all to yourself.

The place to feel great this summer…. is in the tropics!

Innisfail and Surrounds

Innisfail is the Cassowary Coast’s largest town with a population of approximately 10,000 people.

The township is situated at the junction of the North and South Johnstone Rivers, about 5km from the coast and 90km from Cairns along the Bruce Highway.

Nearby localities include Mena Creek, Etty Bay, Cowley Beach, South Johnstone, Kurrimine Beach and Silkwood.

Cardwell and Surrounds

Cardwell and Port Hinchinbrook are the southern gateway to the Cassowary Coast region boasting world-class landscapes and experiences.

They are also the gateway to Hinchinbrook Island, the biggest island national park in Australia and home of the Thorsborne Walking Trail.

Tully & Surrounds

Surrounded by bananas, sugar cane plantations and world-heritage rainforest, Tully is one of the greenest and wettest towns in Australia.

Tully’s landmarks are scenic Mt Tyson and the Golden Gumboot, a 7.9m tourist attraction celebrating the record-breaking year that 7900mm of rain fell on the town.

Mission Beach and Surrounds

Mission Beach is truly a jewel of the Tropical Coast and an ideal holiday destination. Known for its world-heritage rainforests, idyllic beaches, island getaways and adventure activities.

Planning a Visit?

The Cassowary Coast is beautiful all year round however the winter months make our region the perfect getaway for “southerners” escaping the cold.


We respectfully acknowledge the Mamu, Jirrbal, Djiru, Gulngay and Girramay peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which we gather. We pay our respects to their Elders past and present, for they hold the memories, the traditions, the culture and hopes of Indigenous Australia.
