Bowen

Bowen is a laid-back coastal town in North Queensland, best known for its beautiful beaches and relaxed pace. With eight stretches of shoreline to choose from, including the calm Horseshoe Bay with its fringing reef perfect for snorkeling, Bowen is a great spot to enjoy the water without the crowds. The town has a friendly, old-fashioned feel, and you’ll spot the “Big Mango” on the way in—a nod to its reputation as Australia’s mango capital. It’s also a handy base for fishing, exploring local lookouts, and taking in some of the region’s history and charm.

The town's mural trail, including 2 water Towers, is worth a look.Les mer
