Airlie Beach - Whitsunday Islands After a lovely time in Cairns we flew to Hamilton Island which is in the Whitsundays Islands. We then got a ferry to the mainland ready for our pick up the next morning from Arlie Beach. Airlie Beach is a small but bustling town right on the beach with a big mariner and port. It is the gateway to the fabulous Whitsundays Island, the unofficial 8th natural wonder of the world. We dropped off our big back packs and made our way to...

The surrounding areas are stunning and much less party orientated but the work was in Surfers so that's where we settled. The work at this hostel was much easier than in Sydney. We were sti...
