Woke up in the morning to look over a beautiful lake which we couldn't see the night before. A slow morning of breakfast and packing up and then off again to find the long lost camping ground. I located the campground on the map and set the HEMA. As we turned of the main gravel road down this goat track I looked at Wendy, her complexion changed, something similar to that of her on the Old Telegraph Track, luckily this was a lot tamer. The track was steep and rock...

Our caravan park was right next to the Whitsunday Airport and I had been hearing helicopters and small planes taking off all morning and was curious to what the cost would be to take a scenic flight around the islands. After we had packed up camp I headed to the park office for a brochure or 3. Col and Wendy chose not to go but encouraged Joe and I do to it. The prices to go in a helicopter were absolutely ridiculous so we settled on a 8 seater plane and they had...

We departed Able Point Marina under motor at 8am and headed off towards the islands. The crew put up the sai...

Today was already planned. We were going to spend the day laying on the beach and were so looking forward to it. There are a couple of resident peacocks in the park and I was fortunate to hand feed one this morning. We were all loaded up and set for the morning. We wandered down to the beautiful Gray's Bay with our snorkels, flippers and the fishing gear too. This is a beautiful bay which was sheltered from the strong winds. We settled in for the morning. Wen a...
