The page for those that like to feel like intrepid explorers, as if they were discovering places no-one else has ever seen. Where Great Begins…
The Southern Great Barrier Reef lets visitors feel like they are on a journey of discovery. Even the most well-travelled visitors are often left speechless by the experience of getting up close and personal with life in this remarkable section of

the Great Barrier Reef. Add the opportunity to fossick for gems, take spectacular walks through national parks, marvel at aboriginal rock art and spoil yourself with delicious regional produce and you’ve got yourself a great holiday. Despite being just over 4 hours drive from Brisbane, this area remains relatively undiscovered, so there are fewer crowds and a visit is more personal. People come here to experience a destination that offers a more authentic holiday. One that allows them to be touched by nature, indulge their adventurous spirit and reconnect with family and friends. The Southern Great Barrier Reef offers a real Robinson Crusoe experience with all the comforts of home.

πŸ“ Tannum Sands, in the Visit Gladstone Region, Queensland

πŸ’‘ Fun fact! It's believed that the town received its original name Tannum, back in 1951, when a group of children returned from a Sunday School picnic to the beach quite sunburnt. β˜€οΈ The comment was made "we can really tan 'um over there." One of the people present worked for the Queensland Land Department and thought it would be a good name for the area so registered the name πŸ˜†πŸ™Œ
