Airlie Beach

We booked into a hostel in Airlie Beach and tried to book a day trip around the Whitsundays. To be fair the weather was poor and there was a cyclone warning so all of the sailings were cancelled but there was a possibility they would be sailing two days later. We decided to wait a few days and see. We did not realise at the time that there is nothing to do in Airlie beach.

The weather was a bad, there is no cinema, or other distractions. We did our laundry, checked our emails, watched a few movies, had a few drinks, chatted to other backpackers and advised someone how to bake a cake. She was only backing it as a distraction from the nothing to do. Terry was very excited by a rum bar that was in the town. They had loads of rums. It was very exciting.

A couple of days later the sailing were still cancelled so we decided to move on down the coast again. We were not really sure where we were going.
We decided to keep going til we got to 1770, which I was quite nervous about as lots of receptions close at about 7m and it was all ready half past when we made this decision, after driving for about 7 hours.
We got to 1770 and passed a hostel. I went in and the receptionist should have left at 9 but luckily was late leaving. This meant that we did not have to sleeping the car, which I was somewhat delighted about. We stopped at a few towns along the way, which I cannot remember the name of right now but I do remember that we stopped at hungry jacks for dinner. Hungry jacks is burger king which has strange Eddie rockets styling. We did not know this til we went in.
