Life & Leisure writer, Steve Meacham recently experienced a six night trifecta at Silky Oaks Lodge on the edge of the Daintree, Mt Mulligan Lodge in the outback, and Lizard Island Resort in the northern reaches of the Great Barrier Reef.

Helicopter hopping between Queensland’s most iconic lodges exploring reefs, tropical forests and epic outback landscapes on a new six-night itinerary in the Sunshine State.

“From the air, far northern Queensland reveals itself in a cornucopia of colour: The blues of the Great Barrier Reef; the dark green canopy of the Daintree, the oldest rainforest on the planet; the softer hues of the Atherton Tablelands; and, further west, the sombre reds and browns of outback cattle country.

A stay at a luxury lodge in any of these destinations ticks the wishlist of great Australian escapes, but what if you could stay in a trifecta of them on one easy trip? That’s the thinking behind a series of new offerings from Luxury Lodges of Australia that connects properties in its portfolio into itineraries of six to 13-plus nights, with transfers between them by helicopter or private plane.”
