Arrived in Airlie yesterday and in a really nice big room! everyone from the bus met down at the bar at 7pm for free nibbles and free beer! Spent the night drinking and chatting in the nice bar then rang mark for ages! have explored a bit this morning, there is a lagoon, they love the fake beaches here! and checked in, as i leave to sail the whitsundays at 2.30 aboard tongarra. www.tongarra.com if you want to look. quite a nice little town here, much bigger than 1770!
