Still in search of a beach day we headed farther north up the coast to Conway national park. We spent the morning on the rather small beach until the tide kicked us off.

We went into Airlie Beach for the afternoon. The tide was all the way in so we walked around the boardwalk. Airlie beach is the gateway to the Whitsundays – 70 some islands on the Great Barrier Reef. The water in the harbour is crystal clear and bright blue. It’s clearly a place with some money as the wharf is packed with million dollar yachts.

We checked into our campground and went for a dip in the pool. Afterwards we sat around and watched the cockatoos flying around. The caravan park was packed with tropical birds just milling about. We settled in early to get ready for the next day.
