Whitsunday Wanderers Resort

... a fog laden field somewhere around Mackay (PIC). We arrived into Airlie Beach at 9:00am and checked into our motel, the Whitsunday Wanderers Resort, only to find that it was the place we had to go to register our place on the Whitsundays Sailing trip ...

... for a few ridiculously expensive and unnecessary tourist resorts. We stopped at the largest island in the Whitsundays - Whitsunday Island - home of breathtaking Whitehaven Beach (http://www.whitsundaytourism.com/). Whitehaven Beach is made up of ...

... the Mudies with some vain hope of fishing we pushed off. We set up (very quickly) in the rain behind the Whitsunday Wanderers resort in the main street. Certainly the most convenient caravan park now that the old council caravan park has closed down. ...

Went for a drive to Conway Beach where Brendan had a lovely time paddling and playing in the sand. Made a large-scale model of Thomas the Tank Engine complete with Annie and Clarabell. After lunch on the foreshore, we returned to the caravan and Greg ...
