Uncovering Port Douglas as the Hottest Hot Spot to Live and
Invest
Australia's national identity is as tied to sun, sand and sea as
England's is to bangers and mash but is there any sleepy seaside
towns left anywhere on the eastern seaboard of Australia?
It may seem difficult to believe, but hot spot Port Douglas
still feels like a small coastal village and not Toorak by the
Sea.
Despite the enormous amount of development it will never be
highrise like the Gold Coast nor will it emulate Noosa's
inflated prices. There is a lot of building and planning going
on in the sleepy town affectionately known as Port by the
locals, but it still retains its atmosphere and charming
elegance.
Its no wonder there is strong development and forecasts of
continued growth, when as at June 2001, 84.7% of Australia's
population lived within 50 kilometers of the coastline and
between 1996 and 2001, and Queensland has had a net gain of
92,200 people giving it nearly 86,000 more new residents than
its nearest rival. This dive north has continued to increase to
date and the seachange lifestyle phenomenon shows no signs of
abating.
Flying high on the success Carnivale 2005, Port Douglas is
currently experiencing a mini peak as the beginning of the
tourist season is upon us with much excitement and interest in
the variety of "off the plan" development projects and new
holiday resorts currently on offer. That coupled with the recent
media attention of the Sheraton acquisitions by the Ray Group
has created quite a stir and much debate and speculation with
regard to the proposed boardwalk link between the Marina Mirage
and Anzac Park and the beautification of the inlet side of town.
With major celebrities meandering up and down Macrossan Street,
smiles on the faces of locals and tourists alike it is hard to
beat a town like Port Douglas with an award wining bakery where
you can buy lunch for two under $10.00 and sit under a palm tree
in the park to warm your frozen bones.
We can't speak for the rest of the sleepy seaside towns but we
know everyone taking off from some cold city on a whim and a
fare is destined to enjoy our charming yet growing village of
Port Douglas.
