It's hard to get you to believe when you hear reports on the news og how wet everything is up here.  However, you have to understand that the wet up here is not like down south. 

We can get 240mm of rain one day and the next day everything is sunshine with most of all the runoff headed out to sea.  If you have a look at the pics of Laceys Creek and Kellys on Maria Creek in this site, those pics were taken 1 or 2 days after we had about 300mm of rain on 13th Jan 2009.

Of course, there is far more than just waterfalls and rainforest pools in Mission Beach.  Click on this link to have a look at some of the 14km of pristine golden sandy beaches bordered by rainforest and coconut palms that lead to the Great Barrier Reef water of the Coral Sea and nearby islands just offshore from Mission Beach.
