Airlie Beach - QLD

1st July - 8th July 2014

We had a lovely break in Airlie Beach staying here for one week.  Time to catch up on things and do a few activities.  The first few days the weather wasn't that fantastic, low 20's even a little bit of rain.  We did a few drives and hung around the town a bit.  The town has certainly changed since Stuart and l were here last.  It has a beautiful boardwalk down by the water and a really great lagoon pool.
Phil & Maureen also stopped here which was great to spend some more time with them.

We took a drive to a spot called Dingo Beach, which was lovely and very untouched.  We spent the day here swimming, playing in the sand and l even did a bit of sun baking!

We picked a lovely sunny day for our day trip.  We went to Whitehaven Beach and stopped in at a reef and did some snorkeling.  The boat was great fun, we went on the Big Fury.  The staff were very knowledgeable and friendly.  Josh was a little concerned about snorkeling but in the end he loved it! We got some great pictures with the underwater camera.  Whitehaven Beach was just amazing, voted one of the top ten beaches in the world.  The kids had a great time swimming, playing beach volleyball and enjoying the lovely sand. The tour operators put on a nice meal for lunch, we just had to dodge the goanna's!

The caravan park had a fund raising night and had some live music and Segway demonstrations.  The boys and l had a go on the Segway and let's say it was very interesting after a few sav blancs!

Our next stop is a free camp in Rollingstone.
