New Years Eve in Airlie Beach and the Whitsundays Cruise

Image
Day 28 This morning we picked up our camper van for the drive to the Whitsundays, this was a relocation  camper that was booked out over New Year and so we had 24 hours to deliver it. So we collected our Wicked Camper from the Brisbane depot and headed up the Bruce Highway to Airlie Beach. Its a very basic camber with a cold box for a fridge and a gas ring to cook on. Our first stop on route was Noosa as it had been recommended that we stop there.  Because it was still the Christmas holidays it was very busy and we were unable to park so I just took a quick photo before we were on our way.   We drove through some lovely places and the views were stunning.. A quick photo had to be taken at Gin Gin, a place my husband said I should live due to my love of gin.

Hand feeding Dolphins Tangalooma

And so our Australian Adventure continues..... Day 21 We had booked to spend 2 days on Tangalooma Island  which is located on Moreton Island and just 75 minute catamaran cruise from Brisbane. Moreton Island is a sand island, Queensland is home to the four largest sand islands in the world, the largest being Fraser Island, whilst Moreton Island is considered the Adventure Island. There is plenty to keep you busy here no matter how long you want to stay for and plenty of options of accommodation from hotel rooms to apartments. We had to wait a little while for check in and so headed to the B&B's Bar before  heading to our room. We went to the Dolphin Eco Centre to book on the Dolphin feeding that happens every evening around 7pm.  Andy was advised not to feed the dolphins as they discourage people with colds so that no infections can be passed to the dolphins.
