Rare MicCanberra Posted May 3, 2017 #2 Share Posted May 3, 2017 The last report (two weeks ago) I saw there were no tours and most of the town was still closed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's the last I heard too. Seems to be more open now but hard to get info. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NSWP Posted May 4, 2017 #5 Share Posted May 4, 2017 The 'Boss and I are doing a North Queensland Road Trip in August for 3 weeks, I hope Airlie is open for business, calling in there. It was too hot to explore Airlie when we called in there on QM2 in March, not long before the Cyclone hit NQ. Doing Rockhampton, Emerald, Longreach, Charters Towers, Townsville, Mackay, back to Rocky and fly home via Brisvegas/Canberra.:cool: All the motels I have booked in NQ are open for business.:halo: NQ needs the tourists in there now, to help recover from Cyclone Debbie.

jn2003 Posted May 4, 2017 #6 Share Posted May 4, 2017 We were on the Sea Princess scheduled to call on the 12/4/17 but it was cancelled. We were intending on doing a reef tour with Ocean rafting and they were still operating. They have a cyclone proof boat shed that did the job. There's a bit of a push to advertise that the Whitsundays are open for business, so it would be interesting to know how it's going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
