HOST LOCATION FOR THE YEAR 2000 AUSTRALIAN SWIMSUIT CALENDAR PHOTO SHOOT:

  

The Australian Swimsuit Calendar heads to Tropical North Queensland to shoot the 2000 edition!

The Miss Calendar Girl Australia Search takes place in top entertainment venues all around the country between April and July. Each venue runs several weeks of qualifying heats leading up to their semifinals and it culminates with the venue final where one girl is selected to represent that venue in next year's calendar.

After winning, the girls usually have a few weeks filled with visits to the local gym, the hairdressers, and depending on where they live, frequent visits to the tanning salon. They all know that being featured in the Official Australian Swimsuit Calendar represents a chance in a lifetime and they naturally want to look their best. Then it is simply a matter of packing their bikinis and heading to the airport for a comfortable flight to this year's location - the spectacular Horizon Resort at Mission Beach in Tropical North Queensland! Mission Beach is one of Australia's most beautiful - and most popular - holiday destinations. 

Perched high up on a headland where the rim of the World Heritage Rainforest sweeps down to the beaches that lead to the Great Barrier Reef lies The Horizon Resort at Mission Beach in tropical North QueensIand.You are at the very edge of a natural heritage where an abundance of wildlife makes its home in and around the giant trees.Look out towards the ocean, over the miles of white sandy beaches and surf, to a patchwork of exotic islands dotting the magnificent Coral Sea.

Unspoiled nature is all around you.

In this escapist hideaway The Horizon Resort looks after your creature comforts. First class accommodation in hillside bungalows, each of the 55 rooms or suites has its own balcony or terrace and ocean view.

Beautifully furnished in tropical style, a choice of fine dining either in our elegant Dining Room or at our Poolside Terrace with its illuminated gardens, with the finest cuisine and wines.

Some will just enjoy the simplicity of strolling through the majesty of the rainforest or along a "picturebook" beach...a rare opportunity to commune with authentic nature in our hectic world.

For the more energetic The Horizon Resort offers diving skiing, snorkeling, golf, floodlight tennis, rainforest walking, whitewater rafting or wildlife photo safaris. Our large surface tension swimmingpool is salinefilter treated.

There are ample opportunities for ferry rides or visits to places of interest like the Hinchinbrook Island National Park. You might think that The Horizon Resort at Mission Beach is in a world of its own, yet surprisingly it can be reached by an easy car drive 90 minutes south of Cairns and its international airport.
