Airlie Beach Islands

Now, a day on the islands. This mostly consists of getting on a boat which takes you around to a number of spots on several islands where you do different stuff.

And here's the boat.
Hook Island. There was some reasonable snorkelling, a couple of tubes sunk to the sea-bed with windows (not really worth the effort - the windows are tiny and you can't see very much through them) and a glass-bottom boat trip.
That's the jetty with the underwater viewing entrance.
I stayed on the island while Kim went off on the glass-bottom boat. Here's the proof that they didn't throw her to the fishies.
Next up, Whitsunday Island. This has one of the best beaches on the planet - if you're into that sort of thing - and, yes, it really is that white.
The beach attracts a lot of visitors.
There are also a number of different trips while you are there.
And there it is in all it's glory.
Thence to Daydream Island which has a proper resort with swimming pool and crazy golf. Woohoo.
