The Whitsunday Islands

We spent a week in paradise!



This nice man, John, talking to Adam is a perfect example of a chance encounter we made on the road and because of the Aussie friendliness we've come to know and love became a free boat ride (most boat rides in the Whitsundays start at $100 so this is pretty noteworthy) out to an amazing secret beach. Basically, we met John's family (including 3 of the cutest grandchildren in the world) while we were camping more than an hour away. His son, Steve, mentioned that his dad was camping for the weekend at the best (and most undiscovered) beach in the Whitsundays and gave us his dad's phone number. The next day we called and had a perfect afternoon under the sun getting to know an Airlie Beach local, talking about our mutual love of travel, and swimming in a cove that was all our own (see below).
