Day 20 – Airlie Beach

 
Off to The Whitsundays today!! We’re staying at Airlie Beach – on the ‘mainland’.

Despite the lovely bed and wide selection of pillows, Kylie and Ryan still had a good nap on the drive down from Townsville:



As we were driving out of Bowen after lunch we came across the Big Mango, one of many ‘big’ things across Australia:





One website shows photos of 34 different big ‘things’ around Australia including a couple of others we have seen including:

  • Big Captain Cook (Cairns)

  • Big Cassowary (Mission Beach)


  • They have an excellent pool at the park with a couple of water slides (which Ryan loves). He also loves splashing around under the ‘mushroom sprinklers’:



    Quiz Question #23 – What is Bowen best known for?

    Quiz Question #24 – What is the most dominant commercially grown variety of mango in Australia?

    Rest Stops – Ayr, Bowen

    Accommodation – Big 4 Adventure Whitsunday Resort Caravan Park
