Written by Kim Got on the road to head to Noosa around 9:00 after a nice breakfast to say goodbye to Hervey Bay. Our drive today was only 2 1/2 hours so we took a few of the tourist drives along the way. Before leaving Hervey Bay we stopped to take a picture of the […]

Written by Alex Our stop to Hervey Bay was for one basic purpose – to visit Fraser Island. Unlike Hamilton Island, which is a largely developed island loaded with things to do, Fraser Island is the opposite. Fraser Island is a 75 mile long by 15 mile wide sand island that is almost totally undeveloped […]

Written by Kim We caught the 8:10 ferry to leave beautiful Hamilton Island and get on the road for our longest drive of about 10 hours. We’ve been fortunate to travel many places and I think Hamilton Island has moved into my #1 favorite spot displacing the Isle of Capri which was formerly my #1. […]

Written by Alex It’s hard to write and try to not be too over the top with the wows, amazements and gushes – especially when I do something like play Hamilton Island Golf Club. This place lived up to every expectation. The weather was picture perfect, the skies and water all a magnificent blue, and […]

Written by Kim Up early for breakfast at the Deck where we had dinner last night then off to catch the 8:30 ferry to Hamilton Island. The ferry took about an hour so just relaxed a bit. When we arrived we caught a shuttle to our room at Whitsunday apartments. This island is absolutely gorgeous […]

Written by Alex Note: if you haven’t yet read day 36 or 37, scroll down and catch up first! Today was our first relocation by car – a 7.5 hour drive from Cairns to Airlie Beach and then an hour ferry ride from Port of Airlie to Hamilton Island. The drive was mostly without incident […]

Written by Kim – we’re a bit behind so don’t miss Day 36 if you haven’t read it yet It was a big day today but we have limited pictures because we don’t have an underwater camera (guess we should have bought that go pro). We were up early for our snorkeling tour at the […]

Written by Alex Wow, what a crazy busy three days! Lots to report so let’s get to it…. On Tuesday morning we decided to take a ride to a small local waterfall, Crystal Cascades. It was about a 20 minute drive and another 20 minute walk on a well paved walkway. Have to get those […]

Written by Kim We were up early as usual. Alex worked to connect to a VPN so he could listen to the Giants who unfortunately lost. It was weird listening to Sunday football at 4 am Monday morning. I was working on catching up on laundry before we headed out to see the rainforest. Our […]

Written by Alex Waking up early to sail into Sydney brought on some new excitement. This is something we’ve been waiting to do for so long, it seems almost unreal that we are finally here! It was picture perfect morning to snap pictures from our balcony! Today we are to fly from Sydney up to […]
