Named after local fisherman George "Yorkey" Lawson, Yorkeys Knob may have a funny name, but with it go great tropical beaches, a world-class marina and friendly residents. Here, you can swim, snorkel, windsurf, sail, and dive on the Great Barrier Reef. You'll also be well-located in North Queensland: just 15 minutes away from Cairns City and close to the World Heritage Rain Forests.
