The Flying Fish Point Tourist Park is situated approximately 7 kms from Innisfail and is within "The Great Green Way", an area of outstanding natural beauty spanning from Townsville to Cairns in Tropical North Queensland, Australia.

The area includes two World Heritage listings. These being the Wet Tropics Rainforests and the Great Barrier Reef. We have over 25 tropical islands off our coast, over 12 mainland National Parks, and we are the closest mainland access in Queensland to the Outer Barrier Reef. The Great Green Way encompasses the four shires of Hinchinbrook, Cardwell, Johnstone, and Cairns City.

There is lots to see and do in the region including:

Innisfail in the Johnstone Shire (population 20,000, town of 8,000) is positioned in the heart of the Cassowary Coast and is situated 88km south of Cairns and 260km north of Townsville. Both those cities have direct air access to overseas markets.

Innisfail is on the Bruce Highway and the Palmerston Highway connects us to the west with Atherton Tablelands (and beyond to the Gulf Savannah). It directly accesses over 101,000 sq. kms of highly productive land - grains, tobacco, potatoes, mangoes, avocado and dairy products being produced. Smaller productions of melons and coffee, show the diversity of produce available.

Our International deep water port at Mourilyan Harbour caters for cargo and freight ships and is being used for a sugar handling facility, with ships up to a draught of 8 metres being able to enter.

The region, first settled more than 110 years ago, developed as a sugar growing and timber producing area. Sugar is still the economic base, with total sugar revenue having a gross value in excess of $87 million, and total cane revenue valued at $55 million. Other major produce and industry from the area include bananas, papaya, aquaculture, fishing and more increasingly tourism as the secret of this tropical wonderland is revealed.
