| Beach right in Airlie Beach |
Airlie Beach has beautiful clear water, with lovely beaches, but due to being the main spot for people to head over to the Whitsunday islands, boy is it full of backpackers and over commercialised. Still pretty to see though. We stayed in Airlie Beach at a caravan park about 1.5 km from town, a nice little park recently renovated so the amenities were very nice here. We also had our favorite little birds the curlews aplenty, one couple even had a chick.

Wondering around the town of Airlie Beach we decided to have a hamburger for lunch. I had just sat down outside and was about to have a bite of my burger when a Kookaburra swooped down and tried to steal it, but ended up flicking one half of my burger
over to the table beside us. He then promptly came back around, sat on the table and began to eat it!! Apparently it had happened to someone the day before as well. Cheeky bugger!

Coming into Mackay we couldn't believe how big this place is. Shopping centre, upon shopping centre, new housing developments everywhere and a Marina with boats worth up to $4.5M +. We decided to stay at Blacks Beach about 11km out of Mackay city centre and it was quite a nice little park right on the beach. We drove around Mackay city and checked it out, but it was a place we both didn't really enjoy staying in so decided to move on pretty quickly, staying only a few days. I didn't even take any photos, maybe because it did rain during our stay there. Not a destination I would mark on my calendar to go to again to be quite honest.
