A Vision

A Book of Verses underneath the Bough,
A Jug of Wine, a Loaf of Bread and Thou
Beside me singing in the Wilderness
O, Wilderness where Paradise is now!

From Omar Khayym ~ Edward Fitzgerald

We all have our own vision of paradise. For Adam & Eve it was Eden, for some it is freedom from the relentless pressures of life; for others a desert isle far from the turmoil of clashing ideologies and social conflict, but for most it is a momentary sojourn in a blissful tropical enclave surrounded by nature’s legacy for all that share this wondrous planet.

It is here amongst intensely beautiful flora and fauna, cascading falls and iridescent pools that visitors discover a paradise designed to fulfill every visitor’s fantasy and transcend their expectations. Nestled within the tropical landscape are thrilling water rides, an interactive undersea laboratory embraced by a seaquarium theatre, a media-rich butterfly and insect world, intelligent gardens, an immersive aboriginal cultural centre, both formal and informal performance venues, restaurants, cafes and a variety of cutting edge diversions that appeal to the young and the young at heart.

Visitors to the Resort and Park are immediately aware that something magical has happened from the moment they are conveyed through the entrance portal. Like the unforgettable transition in The Wizard of Oz, they leave the black and white world behind and encounter one bursting with color. The intense ambient heat becomes moderated, the moisture cleansed and dried, the aroma of decay perfumed by incense and spices, the incessant drone of industry and transportation replaced by music and song.

So well arranged are the experiences that lie ahead that the visitor is unaware that they are at all contrived and captive within a completely self-contained environment. No worries about the time of year or day, seasons or climatic conditions. Within TROPICAL PARADISE RESORT everything is always perfect!

The aboriginal hosts that welcome the arriving visitors with personal greetings, direct them to interactive kiosks where they pay their entrance fee and acquire their interactive passports that may be used for all the available events and venues within the Park. The digital screens that flank the kiosks and reappear throughout the park in surprising and non-intrusive settings, display the contents and schedule of the permanent venues and the day’s special events. Reservations for all and any of the Park’s attractions can be made directly on the screens.

Once fully briefed, visitors are invited to choose their own paths and plan their tour as their time and interests suggest.

The average tourist is likely to spend between three and five hours at the Park on any given day or multiple days, and residents within the area, using their annual passports will visit the Park frequently as events and performances change.

Whether tourist or resident, TROPICAL PARADISE RESORT will become a magnet for visitation from every Australian State and port of entry and for those who make the journey, the experience will resonate long after they return to their own reality.
