Cedar Creek Falls |
Cruising the Whitsunday Islands you will see the azure blues meeting the lush greens of the island hills.
The island vegetation is a thick and luscious forest green, dotting the horizon of the Coral Sea and the bright colours make a spectacular sight.
The cane fields of inland Proserpine are in full growth, a lime green winding and undulating carpet of colour leading towards Airlie Beach.
The rainforest is cool and bright, with sub-tropical species blooming and growing throughout the wet.
The summer rain isn't cold, and the tropical green season introduces a new range of sightseeing throughout the Whitsundays, including:
- Cedar Creek Falls - the stunning natural waterfall and waterhole really come to life during the rains of green season (see picture).
- The rain bringing out all kinds of wildlife. Birdwatch for Magpie Geese, Brolgas and Jacanas, and species migrating from Papua New Guinea such as Spangled Drongos and Buff-breasted Kingfishers. Frogs are also out and about, filling the air with raucous calls.
- A guided tour; the Whitsunday Crocodile Safari on a calm river cruise spotting crocs, and a wetland tour within the Goorganga Plains.
- Sitting in one of the cosy, sheltered restaurants enjoying great food and wine on the Airlie Beach Esplanade/Main Street. Cuisines are very multi-cultural from fresh local seafood (the rains make for excellent Barramundi catching) to Indian, Italian, Mexican, Moroccan, modern Australian, Thai, Chinese, Japanese.
It's raining - so what? Check out our guide to wet weather activities around the Whitsundays.
And if you're wet already, then why not get out and do all the activities you'd planned - snorkelling, sailing, cruising and exploring the Whitsundays.
