Blogs from Airlie Beach, Queensland, Australia, Oceania - page 15

After a very very very long bus ride, we arrived in the stunning Airlie Beach! Definitely my favourite place, in fact I would love to live here!! Its a small, funky town right on the beach which is the only way to get to the Whitsundays! We spent the first couple of days sorting some things out like washing etc (the joys of backpacking!) then checked in for our party boat for the next few days! We are heading out on a boat called the Clipper which is a massive party boat! It holds over 200 people but they only take about 50 and you spend 2days, 2 nights sailing around the Whitsundays and snorkelling/lying on a beach - heaven!! Our first day we sailed out for a few hours before stopping in Hook Passage which ... read more

Being the gateway to the Whitsunday Islands, Airlie Beach is an absolute must... Airlie is only a small coastal hub, but its constantly abuzz pretty much all year round with the flow of national and international guests heading out to the islands... So... where to begin... As far as islands go, there are a whopping 74 tropical islands in the Whitsundays... most are completely deserted, however there are 8 of which have resorts... The deluxe of course is Hayman Island - Australia's most awarded 5* resort, but theres also Hamilton Island, Hook Island, Brampton Island, Daydream Island, Lindeman Island, Long Island and South Molle Island...

Airlie Beach was different to the other area's in Queensland it was actually very busy due to the entry point to the Whitsunday Islands. Unfortunately I wasn't able to visit due to two cyclones hitting the east coast. The first one hit a catergory 2 and knocked out the power for about 16 hours and it rained all day, so basically did nothing, not even going the beach. The power went out as the Murray match started so missed him lose again. I decided to leave as the Whitsundays wasn't going to be opened for another 5 or 6 days with a catergory 5 cyclone hitting the coast, so jumped on the next bus out. A lot of people were actually being evacuated for safety. So I have missed out on one of the highlights of ... read more
