WHAT YOU VISIT
Proserpine River Cruise
Home to many fascinating species of birds and mammals, the estuary and wetlands of the Proserpine River is the habitat of over 150 estuarine crocodiles, known locally as "salties." Accompanied by your guide, you'll learn more about this unique ecosystem as you keep a look out for crocodiles. After cruising along the river, you'll set out on a unique tractor-pulled wagon ride through the Goorganga wetlands, a well-preserved habitat for native flora and fauna. Admire the forests, mangroves and saltpans while your guide explains the local ecology and points out wildlife and sights of interest.
PHOTO OPPORTUNITY
There are about 150 crocodiles living in the estuaries, so keep your camera ready - the chances of a sighting are good.
LUNCH
All this is thirsty work so you'll be invited to try traditional Billy tea accompanied by freshly cooked damper, Australia's Bush bread. For lunch, savor a delicious Aussie-style barbecue of meats and salads, eaten under a covered campsite.
WHAT YOU SEE ALONG THE WAY
From the Port of Airlie, you'll board your bus for an enjoyable journey to Proserpine, the heart of sugar cane country where your sightseeing boat awaits.
