View from the shores of Airlie Beach

Hello mates!
Well the land down under has been treating us well and sure has lots to show! We have been moving constantly for the last 3 weeks and I won't lie I am getting a little tired. Which is ok because today Amy and I are boarding a sail boat for 3 days of sailing in the Whitsunday Islands. Airlie beach where we are and the boats leave, is a super cute little town. The water is crystal clear and very calm contrary to where we have been further south. The weather has been quite crazy, producing lots of rain, big swells, rip tides and lots of flooding up north( which is somewhat welcomed as they were in a drought). Some of the areas we saw where not as beautiful as they normally are due to all the wind and rain. The water was more of a brown color. We were still excited to see it all!

I was finally able to upload some pictures from the last 2 weeks, so I wanted to share a few with you.

Gold Coast somewhere... see the nasty seas behind me!

@ Australia Zoo- home of the Crocodile Hunter. That is a Koala in the tree, they are ever so cute!

Maybe my new favorite animal, the Kangaroo! At Australia Zoo you can walk around and there are Kangaroos bouncing all around or in this case being lazy.

About to go Surfing in Coolum... I have to say I might be the new master of surfing on ones knees! Its pretty stylish!

Lake Mackenzie on Fraser Island( the largest sand Island in the world)... pretty amazing place. This lake is in the middle of the Island and is completely freshwater and has some of the finest sand in the world. They say it is great to clean jewelry and also makes your skin and hair very soft and it great for wrinkles.. maybe a fountain of youth?

A dingo on Fraser Island. He came right over to the bus!

The view of Lady Musgrave Island ( you like the sideways shot!)

Lady Musgrave Island. This is the southern most point of the Great Barrier Reef.

Time to board the boat! Talk to you all soon!

Cheers,

Sanna
