Mossman, the “Sugar Town of the North”, located approximately 75 kilometres north of Cairns, with a current population of around 2000, has had the sugar industry as it’s economic backbone for most of its history.

Apart from its own appeal as a quiet and beautiful rural town set amongst lush greenery, with a northern and western backdrop of majestic mountains, Mossman also has immediate access to numerous natural and man-made attractions.

Mossman can offer an experience of a typical North Queensland small town, and yet still be within easy reach of all the internationally acclaimed tourist attractions the area has to offer.

Mossman should be considered if you would prefer a quieter and more relaxed holiday than that offered by the totally tourist oriented atmosphere of nearby Port Douglas.
