Tully River Rafting , Cairns with Selina

My favourite tour, by a long shot, is Tully River White Water Rafting. If you're after an adrenalin rush, enjoy getting out of your comfort zone and enjoy getting soaked with a boat load of friends-you-haven't-met-yet...then this one's for you! 

Although it's an early start, the scenic drive from Cairns to Tully is really beautiful and there won't be a lack of interesting conversation with a bus load of excited Aussies, backpackers and adventurous folk to keep you occupied. The staff are super friendly and, by the end of the day, if your cheeks and belly aren't sore from excessive smiling and laughing, I think you may have boarded the wrong tour bus! They take your safety very seriously too and won't force you to do any crazy flips in the raft...unless of course you're feeling up to the challenge. Awesome day tour, not to bee missed!!

Jupiters on the Gold Coast, Broadbeach with Bec

When people think Gold Coast, they immediately think Surfers Paradise. But, if you can sway them, Broadbeach is definitely where you want to be!!! It has a great restaurant/café scene, great shops and the beach is beautiful. But what is has over Surfers is that really laid back beach holiday feeling to it. With plenty of great hotels, there is lots to choose from, however, after our stay at Conrad Jupiters I would definitely recommend this as a great option!

Conrad Jupiters is the site for the Gold Coast Casino and is the closest we have to a “vegas” style hotel. It’s big, it’s busy, it’s 24 hour buzz, it has shows, pokies.. what more could you want??

Well for me, I like to have: a good hairdryer, great room service, a comfy bed, a proper iron and good shower pressure (I know picky!) But Conrads ticked all the boxes!  And not only this, the Casino is linked by Monorail to the heart of Broadbeach’s restaurants and shops, so great location and easy to get around! The hotel rooms were also spacious, modern in their features and the service was some of the best I’ve received.

For a hotel stay on the Gold Coast, with a fun and happening atmosphere, you can’t go past Conrad Jupiters. And while you’re there, go and check out one of their shows!!!
