Airlie Beach 24/5

Having woke up at 4.30am to watch the Champions League Final between Liverpool and AC Milan we were soon on the road again and had arrived in Airlie Beach by 9.30 am.

The camp site was home to a large Goanna which was making a tour of the picnic and bbq areas hoping for some scraps. The camp site was also home to lots of Kookaburras.



Airlie Beach has a large man made lagoon for safe swimming. The area was populated by lots of backpackers sunbathing (or nursing hangovers) under the mostly grey skies.



This is the beach in the town. Airlie Beach is full of bars and restaurants and the resort is the main base from which to explore the Whitsunday Islands.
