Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays

Started the day by feeding the parrots in the caravan park.

We were then picked up by the courtesy bus to take us to the boat. We had to pick up other people and the bus went up such steep roads to get them. I was petrified.

 The day was so beautiful. No wind and the water was like a millpond.

We took about 25 minutes to get to Daydream Island to pick up some more people to come out with us. The islands are all so close. The trees go right down to the water.

We stopped at Whitehaven Beach and had to be taken in to the shore by a little rubber boat. I didn't fall off. We had a swim and it was just so nice. The beach is very white and fine. A very special place.

On the way home went past Hamilton Island and saw all the mansions. When we got back to Daydream the boats engine failed so we had to be rescued by another boat. A very dramatic finish to a great day.
