So thought it was about time i did a blog. So since the last blog i have travelled to Airlie Beach, further south of Townsville.
Having been highly recommended it by numerous people, both friends and fellow travellers i had high hopes for Airlie.
I wasnt disapointed!
The place is stunning. Very relaxing and more scenery that i can shake a stick at (never quite understood that phrase)
This is the first place i have arrived where i have no further booked plans... yet.
I seem however to have timed the arrival well, as there has been a festival on this weekend with music, fireworks etc bit like the Balloon Festival but without Balloons!
The fireworks display was a particular highlight! One of the best i have been to in a long time, it was free and on the beach!
Did however manage to make an enemy of a either a couple of bats or one individual im not sure... was sitting eating waiting for the fireworks under a tree when i felt something hit me on the head... at first i ignored it thinking it was just something falling from the tree... it however continued to the point i looked up and saw a rather large Bat above me... it appeared the bat was knocking these berry type things off the tree in my direction... so i moved and it followed! Until the fireworks started and then i got revenge because it didnt like the noise! I dont know what it is with me and wildlife but they just seem to take a dislike to me!
Saturday was spent cruising around the whitsundays on a speed boat! Was a fantastic day saw some incredible sights and took some really great pictures (will upload them to this site when im on a faster pc, they have been uploaded to FB)
So this morning, i dont know what possessed me but i decided to go for a bit of a walk... there is a particular walk called the Bicentennial walk which goes from Airlie to the next little time of Cannonvale. About 2 hours round trip. I dont think i planned it well as i ended up walking when the heat was the hottest in about 27o! Dying at the end of it as youll be aware how much me and physical exercise have in common!
So to tomorrow for the last day in Airlie before my 20 Hour Bus ride to Brisbane! Not looking forward to that but had to be done i suppose!
