The Sheraton Grand Mirage Resort Port Douglas is heating up the January long weekend with a lineup of “Hot & Spicy” events that celebrate good food and fun times with family and friends.

Kicking things off is a visit from MasterChef Fan Favourite Khanh Ong on Saturday the 27^th of January for a kitchen takeover of the resort’s Lagoon House Restaurant.

Also a cookbook author and host of ‘Khanh Ong’s Wild Food’ on SBS, Khanh’s delicious feed-me menu will transport diners as they enjoy the restaurant’s poolside ambience, whisking them away to the vibrant marketplaces of East Asia.

But the fun won’t stop there. On Sunday January 28^th, Khanh will set the scene as guest DJ for Sheraton Sunset Sessions. With DJ Andy by his side, guests will enjoy the vibes along with cool cocktails, tantalising Mediterranean bites, refreshing lagoon pool swims, and Instagram-worthy moments as the sun dips over swaying palms.

Also on the lineup for the weekend? A refined afternoon in the Daintree Lounge for Taste of the Tropics Grand High Tea on Friday the 26^th and an insightful Rum Masterclass with FNQ Rum Co. on Saturday the 27^th.

The exciting long weekend serves as a warm-up to the Sheraton’s now annual February Month of Love celebration, which this year will see the resort ablaze with an extravaganza of events that celebrate love. But this month-long affair doesn’t stop at red roses and heart-shaped chocolates on Valentine’s Day. The Month of Love celebrates all kinds of love: love of community, love of self, love of family and friends and even love of flavourful fare.

For those that can’t make it to Khanh Ong’s takeover dinner on the 27^th of January, throughout February Khanh’s dishes will feature on the Lagoon House Restaurant menu for all to try. Additionally, the resort is embracing the summer heat and featuring a “Hot & Spicy” menu item at each of its dining outlets through the month: from spicy cocktails at Daintree Bar to a chili chocolate brownie at Palms Lobby Café.

The next stop on the love train is a ladies night to remember. Harrison’s annual Girls’ Night Out returns on Saturday the 10^th of February for an evening of delicious food, live DJ music and of course, fabulous women.

In celebration of self and community love, on Thursday the 15^th of February the Australian psychologist, mindfulness teacher and children’s book author Liv Downing will visit the resort for several community events. Her morning gathering features a reading from her children’s book, “You Are Loved”, followed by a children’s meditation and interactive mindfulness activities.

Later on, locals and visitors alike are invited to join Liv for a community mindfulness session, including an insightful discussion on the power of community connection.

The final weekend of the Month of Love is perhaps the hottest of them all – starting with a High Tea that’s been decked out in sequins, feathers and a slash of hot-pink lippy on Friday the 23^rd of February.

The Sheraton’s first-ever Drag Queen High Tea features guest hostess and dazzling diva Donna Perignonn, along with free-flow sparkling wine and a divine buffet of gourmet bites.

On Saturday the 24^th of February, gourmands will delight as renowned Melbourne chefs and restaurateurs Jerry Mai and Sarah Tiong takeover Harrisons Restaurant for an inspired evening of seriously good food.

The Month of Love ends on a high note with one last event under the setting sun on Sunday the 25^th of February. Sheraton Sunset Sessions: Hot & Spicy Edition will set the resort’s monthly poolside party ablaze with unforgettable guest appearances by DJ diva and premier party hostess, Jimi the Kween.

Curating an incredible atmosphere alongside fire dancers, sea breezes and renowned DJ Enn, this celebration is the perfect way to conclude a love-filled month in paradise.

Four Mile Beach Monthly Clean-up

Looking for a way to be part of practical solutions for our environment? Four Mile Beach in Port Douglas is one of our longest-running QLD beach monitoring sites. We have been cleaning and collecting data from this site each month for the past 12 years.

Volunteers need to wear enclosed shoes, bring sun/rain protection, and plenty of drinking water (1 to 2 litres is recommended). We try to ensure that all Tangaroa Blue events are free from single-use plastic, so bring along your reusable water bottle.

All equipment and drinking water top-ups will be provided. To register or for any questions, please email [email protected]. Thank you for dedicating your energy towards protecting our oceans, and we look forward to seeing you out on the beach!

Rainforest Rescue Annual Community Tree Planting Day

Rainforest Rescue’s 2024 Annual Community Tree Planting Day is scheduled for Saturday 18 May 2024 and you’re invited!

If you've not attended a tree planting before, it's an enjoyable way to get outside, give back to nature and meet likeminded people in the local community.

2024 also marks our 25th anniversary, and we’re so excited to celebrate with you.

Make sure you don’t miss this planting… we have a feeling it’ll be a record-breaker!

“The better time to plant a tree was 25 years ago, the best time is now”.

The event will commence at 8:00 am, so we will be finished planting before noon (before it gets too hot).

After a morning of planting trees to restore rainforest and connectivity, you’re invited to remain on site and celebrate 25 years of Rainforest Rescue with us.

Join us!

Health and Safety

As always, the health and safety of our staff, supporters, and the communities in which we work are of utmost importance to us.

We ask that all attendees register for a free ticket via Humanitix.

Please ensure you dress appropriately for the event (e.g., sun-safe clothing, hat, sturdy closed-toed boots/shoes). Don’t forget to bring your water bottle and stay hydrated throughout the day

If you are feeling unwell or have recently been unwell please do not attend the planting. We thank you for considering the health and safety of others

We’re looking forward to putting trees back on the land with you and celebrating our 25th anniversary. See you in the Daintree!
