Mackay Hotels - Reviews and Rates

The Australian trip begins and we have said bye for now to our family and friends. I have to say that it doesn't feel like we are really going for such a long time but as we drive along right now my daughter is somewhat sad and will miss her family. The other daughter just thinks we are on a camping trip and is a bit oblivious to the road ahead ...

Hi ya all. Just getting myself organised for the trip to Turkey by trying to sort out how to set up a tavel blog. Hopfully it will make for some interesting reading along the way as well as a personel record of our trip. Only 3 and a bit weeks before we take off. Starting to get excited about the trip and all the experiences we look forward to e...

Die nächste Station ist Mackay, wo wieder einmal die Vorräte aufgefüllt werden. Mackay ist eine typische Kleinstadt. Eigentlich ein schönes Dorf mit hübschen Häuschen mit großem Garten und schönen Grünanlagen dazwischen. Hier gibt es auch schon viele Palmen, die eine tropische Stimmung erzeugen. Leider wird das schöne Stadtbild durch die riesige...

Richard Our next main destination as we moved up the East Coast was the Whitsunday Islands, however, it's a long drive from Buderim to Airlie Beach where the boats for the islands are based. Mackay was therefore another stop off as we headed North. We'd booked into a little beach resort next to the ocean but with all the organising we had to do ...

Well, I've just got this travelblog up and running now. I was going to do my own website, but this offers a lot more and is much easier to handle. I'm busy getting all my stuff to go, and soon I will be off. Just one more week! Time goes so slowly when your waiting for something to happen, and then when it does happen, it happens so quickly.

This morning we had breakfast on the patio of our beautiful bed and breakfast, overlooking the beach. Then we got moving and went to the pier to board a catamaran to the Whitsunday Islands! First we went in the yellow submarine which gave us a look at some of the underwater life going on around us. The boat was pretty busy but we managed to get ...
