Ahhhhh The Whitsundays!

Well after a busy and rather stressful few months we have been on a well deserved week away to the Whitsundays. We were supposed to be heading off with Gary's parents and this was to be the big trip within a trip but unfortunately their trip has had to be delayed so at last minute we headed off with my parents.

The week was a mixture of swimming, swimming and swimming, accompanied with a jumping pillow (huge bouncy castle - without the castle!), playgrounds, minigolf, food and wine. All of which was at the camping ground, ohh forgot to mention the waterslides there - the kids (especially Ryan) are now water slide junkies. The kids would stay in the water as long as possible - until their lips turned blue, and the thermometer registered "LO". Hmmmm bit of a concern.

We did on occassions leave the campsite, venturing over to daydream island for a half day and visiting Airlie Beach. Gary and I even managed to go for dinner and cocktails one evening, beautiful! What a treat!

Can't wait to our return trip with Gary's parents, early next year.




Airlie Beach, not the most beautiful beach but it is the gateway to the beautiful white sandy beached islands.


The lagoon, or as Caitlin called it "the galoon". This is down at Airlie Beach and is used by anyone and everyone, part of the community and is a free-bee, we spent a wonderful morning down here enjoying the sun and swimming.

Grandad and Catilin at the Galoon!

Ryan and Gary on the boat to Daydream Island. The kids were go, go, go and you can really see the tiredness in poor Ryans eyes.

I did upload more photos but they didn't upload properly so will try it again.
