19 March – 23 March 2013 – Airlie Beach



As gorgeous as Airlie Beach is, the weather wasn’t doing a lot in our favour this week.  It was pretty overcast and drizzly for most of the week but still plenty warm enough to just wear shorts and shirt.  Every day we rode from our caravan along the foreshore and boardwalk into Airlie Beach and most of the time took our towel so we could go for a swim at the free local lagoon – see not too cold at all.  If we weren’t on our bike ride then you probably would have just found us in the caravan doing school work or in the car driving around the area admiring the view.  We had some lovely neighbours from Townsville here, Sarah and Jason, with their two little boys Billy (4) and Lawson (20 months) had just started their own trip of Australia but in the opposite direction.  At one stage, we had seen enough of the inside of the caravan so bundled up the school work, rode into Airlie Beach on our bikes and did the work at a table by the pool… what a gorgeous view of the islands while doing school work!  One particular day after having enough of the school work, we went for a drive out to Cedar Creek Falls but the weather was pretty cold so we didn’t swim.  There were so many mosquitos that we probably should have just jumped in to escape them.  We also visited Wilson and Conway Beaches which looked like sleepy old towns.
