Djarawong Lodge Bed and Breakfast is located in an idyllic rural setting yet is only a short drive 1½ klm from the Bruce Highway. Mission Beach is roughly twenty kilometres away with its beautiful, golden, sandy beaches.

So, to find us is SO easy.
 
 

From Cairns:

A 1.5 hour drive South to Djarawong.

Travel South out of Cairns which is signposted to Innisfail and/or Townsville and is indicated as the Bruce Highway.

When you arrive in Innisfail about 45 minutes drive so far, keep going and do not stray from the Bruce Highway as it meanders through the Art Deco hub of the Tropical North Queensland.

Straight over at the new roundabout and over the Bridge you will see a turn off about ½ klm further on to the Right to Tully / Townsville, which is the turn you must take, and you are STILL on the Bruce Highway.

After about 30 minutes or so, you will come across the famous township of El Arish, and there is a left turn for Mission Beach, but keep on going. Up and over the range you will come onto the flat at the other side at a + interseaction.

Indicate Right to let everyone know behind you and there you are: The Old Tully Road, careful to stop at the railway crossing and LOOK FOR TRAINS, they do use this line frequently. 1.5klm along this road you will see us on the hill as you come around the bend. We are at 717 which has the rural signs on the side of the road and drive UP through the cutting and you are at your temporary home, for hopefully a couple of nights. The car park is at the top of the hill on the right, so swing in and come across to the office at this tropical oasis in the Wet Tropics.


If you are arriving late and are not having an evening meal with us, then might we suggest that you consider one of 2 options:

Roscoe's Pizza just as you are about to leave Innisfail on the left hand side before the big roundabout OR

El Arish Tavern which is as you arrive in EL A turn Right at the 2nd street, Glasgow, drive to the end, and turn Left along Chauvel so you are running parallel to the railway line and the Tavern is on the left. A must is their steaks and/or fish ….. fabulous food and great value.
Remember in the tropics most restaurants take their last orders around 8pm!

 

From Townsville:

A 2.5 hour drive North on the Bruce Highway.

When leaving Townsville you will pass through the small townships of Ingham and Cardwell before entering the enter the Wet Tropics in North Queensland.

Between these 2 townships you will come up the mountain and when you reach the top be prepared to stop for a fabulous photo opportunity at the top of the range for spectacular views of Hinchinbrook Island on your right and the Hinchinbrook passage. Be careful crossing the road to take these snaps.

When you get to Tully we are only 1 turn away. Drive North past the Mission Beach turnoff, past the old Feluga pub on your left, and the next turnoff (at the big tree) to your left is the Old Tully Road.

BE careful to stop at the railway crossing and LOOK FOR TRAINS, they do use this line frequently. 1.5klm along this road you will see us on the hill as you come around the bend. We are at 717 which has the rural signs on the side of the road and UP through the cutting and you are at your temporary home, for hopefully a couple of nights. The car park is at the top of the hill
