Since Bundaberg we have trying to go out to the Reef to snorkel but because of the weather, I am not complaining about the rain, we have not. Even in Mackay, the weather was good BUT the boats were not running in March for maintenance...... where else but Queensland! But today, we did it!!!! It was wonderful, we were fully equiped with stinger suits which give sun protection also, from neck to sole(feet)!
We snorkeled or is it snorkled, at Hook Island, went in a glass bottomed boat then swam and wandered, after a good lunch, Whitehaven, then to Daydream to visit the coral lagoon on the island and shop.... it was a great day, I will put up the photos, just need to charge the battery for the camera.
We are now in Airlie Beach after staying one night at Cape Hillsborough Nature Retreat, mark that place in your book to visit..... a beautiful National Park with good accommodation just north of Mackay. We went there after getting the new Coopers fitted to the Landcruiser..... we are now REAL 4WDers.... the tyres are quite chunky but the Lcruiser is much better on the blacktop than with the old tyres - we should have changed them before.
8 days to Babyday.... we head for Townsville tomorrow.
