Vanlife in Tropical North Queensland | Big Crystal Creek & Mission Beach | Australia Travel Vlog

This video promises to bring all the tropical vibes as we begin our Tropical North Queensland road trip. After returning to the mainland from Magnetic Island, we head north from Townsville, stopping off at Big Crystal Creek in Paluma Range National Park. This beautiful swimming hole in the mountains is the perfect place for a dip. We spend the next day at Mission Beach, which is iconic for its palm tree lined beaches. Then, we visit the Babinda Boulders, a mystical swimming spot in Wooroonooran National Park, part of the World Heritage listed Wet Tropics rainforest.
Over the next few videos, we will be exploring TNQ as far north as Cape Tribulation. Stay tuned for more vids from our trip around Queensland! In the meantime, check out our other videos on this channel and stay up to date with us on insta: @tranquilatravels.
We would like to acknowledge and pay our respects to the traditional owners of the lands on which this video was filmed, the Nywaigi, Djiru, and Wanyurr-Majay people.

Great video guys, you are so lucky to have seen Mission Beach with blue sunny skies! We went there on the way up and back and it was pouring rain both times!

[@TranquilaTravels]

Thanks so much! Oh no that's so unlucky!! Hopefully one day you'll see it in all its glory 🌴🌴

We loved big crystal creek too! We checked out Mission Beach but it was so rainy when we were there. You guys captured it so well those palms are epic! Wish we checked out Babinda Boulders it looks beautiful. Another great vid guys x

Thank you so much 🥰 it was so cool but annoyed that we missed the little crystal creek slides - those looked so fun in your vid! Ah no that's unlucky, the palm trees were so dreamy 🌴🌴🌴
