The Coconuts is situated approximately 5 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.

There are 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 has all services and all major supermarket chains are represented in the town. It is also the designated rail freight terminal south of Cairns.

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.
