Woke up feeling surprisingly well! Checked outside the window and blue skies, yay! We all have literally no clean clothes left so had no choice but to make a visit to the laundry room before heading to the lagoon again for a relaxing day of swimming and sunbathing. You can't really swim off the beach here due to jelly fish, sharks and crocodiles but the lagoon more than makes up for it, so much space and a huge lagoon that hasn't been crowded at all.

Well I have made it to 25! It was a great birthday present to step off the coach this morning and feel the heat of Airlie beach! Beautiful blue skies! Headed to the hostel to drop off our stuff but couldn't check in til midday so headed down the esplanade for some cooke brekkie and then hit the travel agents to book a sailing trip around the whitsundays on wednesday.

Early start this morning, quick shower and piece of toast before a 7:20am pick up outside the hostel for the eagerly awaited "cool dingo" tour of Fraser island. Fraser island is just off the east coast of Hervey bay in Queensland. The aboriginal name for the island is "gutti" which translates to paradise...pretty understandable when you get there!
