I had to return Dee a couple of days ago and it was a little sad to let her go. We’d spent the last month travelling Queensland together and had a good thing going. I checked her oil and water tank every time we stopped for fuel (which was pretty much every day), and she only had one minor hiccup during the entire trip.

On the Way to Airlie Beach
When you round the corner towards Airlie Beach (which is essentially one street full of busy shops, hostels etc), you see a glimpse of the water and it’s just incredible! I actually found myself talking out loud about how gorgeous it was! The water here is turquoise and comes in different shades depending on the depth. The Whitsunday islands (named by James Cook after the religious holiday) are covered in greenery because most of them are protected areas, and they serve as the perfect backdrop for the crystal clear waters. When I was looking down at the water from the mountains, I was sure that I’d be able to spot fish if they were there because the water was so clear. Tony and his wife told me that the water wasn’t even nearly as clear as it usually is.
