Robin and Reiny's Aus Adventure: Airlie Beach

We arrived at Airlee Beach on tuesday at the Flametree Caravan Park.,very dog friendly where the owners even look after your dog for the day so you can go on the cruises. We did a cruise on Thursday which was called the The Whitehaven Beach Aussie BBQ, a fabulous day. Elly and John looked after Dawson for the day, so off we went at 8am in the mini bus to the marine to start our adventure.
Once we all boarded away we go at a nice rate of knots and some very choppy seas, I am loving it, Robin went upstairs to get some better photos, didn't last long , as it was so choppy he came down looking like a drowned rat. It took us about 1 1/2hours to get to our first stop at Hill Inlet Lookout where we had a guided walk through the National Park, one word for the Lookout, beautiful. You could see stingrays swimming down below, the water is crystal clear. Back on the boat for morning tea, biscuits and tea, and then off to Whitehaven Beach for a yummy bbq. We are on the beach for about 2 hours just swimming, walking, drinking beer and wine, and enjoying the great bbq of steak, sausages and rissoles with lovely fresh salad and damper rolls and of course a fresh fruit salad with the sweetest pineapple I have ever eaten. Back on the boat to head north up to Mantary Bay where Robin will snorkel and I will enjoy the sights through a glass bottom boat. Met a few of the locals, one blue Gopher called Elvis swam right around the boat to get some free food, lots of other lovely fish as well. A bit disappointed in the colour of the coral, could have been because of the overcast day but nevertheless it was truly a magic day. Forget to mention back at the bbq we were visited by about 8 lace monitors, so glad they were friendly. We have also visited Conaway Beach, Hydeway Bay and Dingo Beach, 3 out of the way places which are very beautiful. Moving on , on Tuesday to who knows where. Love to all Robin and Reiny.
