Day 5 - 30th June - RockHampton - Airlie Beach - 484 KLM

Day 5 - 30th June - RockHampton - Airlie Beach - 484 KLM


Long drive to get to the Whitsundays for a couple of days rest. Time was passed with Mark using the GoPro to capture every 30secs of the trip and attempting to teach Tanya the basic shaker rhythm, with which she struggled. She has a greater appreciation for the percussionist (particularly those who can hold a consistent rhythm longer than a verse). As for jazz in 7/6 time - no chance. The signs suggested trivia was a good way to stay alert ...but the signs only asked 1  question. Driving through the mountains and sugar cane was pretty but still no sightings of the water. Pulled in to Airlie Big4 mid afternoon.   Another first - powered tent site. Glamping (glamorous camping) is new to us and we are impressed. Can’t believe what we have been missing out on. Mark happy to have his Nespresso & appliances charged, the kids are happy to have a pool, mini golf, jumping pillow & park & Tanya’s happy that everyone else is happy! Saturday night in Airlie Beach is very busy with live music in each pub but kids not allowed so back to our palace we went.
