This morning is at leisure, with time for an optional flight seeing tour or sunbathing around the pool. This afternoon, we drive out to the massive Olgas, a collection of vividly-colored domed rocks rising from the plains, for a nature walk to see the unique desert flora and fauna. Others will be content to explore the Aboriginal caves and rock art along the base. Later today, we fly to Cairns, continuing on by light aircraft to tropical Lizard Island. Our days are at leisure to enjoy Lizard Island s white sand beaches, windsurfing, tennis courts and marvelous opportunities for coral viewing along the Great Barrier Reef.
Game fishing is also available as an optional extra.
After a leisurely breakfast, we say farewell to idyllic Lizard Island, boarding a private charter flight to Cairns. On arrival, we travel by coach to Kuranda. Our destination is the world s longest cableway, Sky rail, carrying us just yards above the rainforest canopy to enjoy sights once strictly for the birds. After descending to the forest floor for a closer look at this unique World Heritage environment, we pause for lunch at the Tjapukai Aboriginal Culture Park, where we re entertained by a stunning theatrical interpretation of Aboriginal culture. Our day ends with a transfer to Cairns Airport and a flight to Sydney, where we are met and transferred to our elegant hotel.
