A harbour city two hours north of Sydney, with ocean baths, the Anzac Memorial Walk above the beaches, and the Hunter Valley vineyards inland.
The world’s largest sand island, once called Fraser Island: freshwater lakes in the dunes, rainforest growing out of the sand and, from July to October, humpbacks in Hervey Bay. A tender port.
The marina on the edge of the Whitsundays, a short hop from Airlie Beach, where the boats leave for Whitehaven Beach and the outer reef.
A tiny sand cay far out in the Coral Sea, home to a weather station and huge seabird colonies. Seen from the deck as the ship cruises by: there is no landing.
North Queensland’s biggest city, under Castle Hill: the Strand foreshore, the Reef HQ aquarium and the ferry to Magnetic Island and its koalas.
A relaxed resort town with Four Mile Beach on its doorstep and the Daintree Rainforest an hour north. Outer reef trips to the Agincourt and Low Isles leave from the marina. The ship anchors and tenders you in.
The gateway to the Great Barrier Reef: a day trip out to the outer reef or Green Island, the Skyrail cableway over the rainforest to Kuranda, or the Esplanade lagoon in town.
