The mighty Bruce Hwy

The precious Bruce Hwy, our lifeline to the outside world. You can take roads for granted but when they are cut due to floods or traffic accidents it can change everything. We currently have a major accident at the Mulgrave River section of the Bruce Hwy which means no traffic is getting through coming south to Mission Beach and north bound traffic is blocked to. This will impact on all the Greyhound and Premier buses traveling hwy no 1. I know this because a friend has phoned to say she has missed her flight home and has to wait in Cairns overnight and could I please help her find a suitable motel. Which of course we have done! Selected, booked and finalised within 4 minutes of her call, that is what you call service - not just cause she's a mate, that's how we treat all our customers - prompt efficient services!

The sun is shining

I'm sitting here at work looking outside at the gorgeous sunny day we are having here in Mission Beach, and wondering about the wisdom of going to Victoria to visit my family for a month. I think, actually I know I am going to miss being in tropical north Queensland, but of course there is a lot to be said for spending Christmas at home with your family. So lucky you if your one of the many visitors to Mission Beach at this time of year!
