Like good cheese and wine, they both improve with age; similarly Queensland’s countryside scenery improves with each kilometre you travel north. We are now in Airlie Beach which is quite brilliant and a worthy contender for a full week on your bucket list.
The journey here was quite spectacular, enjoying more of the great ranges caressing the tablelands with mighty hectares of sugar cane.
Interestingly, we were intending to shoot thru from Mackay to Townsville, a marathon 450km on the ‘Bruce’ but there is an NRL Broncos Vs the Cowboys (whoever a team of blokes in ‘chaps’ might be) and absolutely no accommodation available.
We had been to Airlie Beach a couple of years ago on the Dawn Princess for a day and so this unexpected visit has been a joy and who knows, we might be back!
We are at the Coral Sea Resort. (I hope to learn how to do picture captions in the next few days!)
