All seafood lovers should try Prawn Star at least once. It’s a few old prawn trawlers refurbished to make a restaurant. They serve seafood only, Prawns, Sushimi, Bugs and Crayfish and that’s about it, no salads, fries or carbs, just seafood. Good wines and beer selection. A wonderful unique experience.

Parks & Nature
Crystal Cascades is one of the secrets of Tropical North Queensland that locals wish they could hide from visitors, accessible only by self drive. It is a secluded freshwater swimming hole, hidden in a tropical rainforest. A series of small waterfalls flow into large pools surrounded by large impressive granite boulders. Rainforest trees hang over the mountain water, keeping it cool and refreshing. There are also council managed and cleaned BBQ and picnic tables in the area with a toilet/change room block close-by.
