Whitsundays - July 2015

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.

  • Shute Harbour (first night on the boat before our briefing at 8am the following morning)
  • Cid Harbour
  • Nara Inlet (and the Aboriginal caves and paintings)
  • Stonehaven Anchorage
  • Langford Island (near Hayman Island)
  • Butterfly Bay
  • Blue Pearl Bay

  • Marcona Inlet
  • Cateran Bay (Border Island)
  • Whitehaven Beach
