Airlie Beach & Whitsunday Cruising July 2015...
To break up the cold Sydney winter, we decided to book in a trip to the beautiful Whitsunday's. With Will & Graeme doing their boat licence in June, it was time to go!
We flew up to Proserpine on Tiger Airways (never again!) and hired a car for a couple of days to explore Airlie Beach before jumping on the boat.
