Kingfisher Travels

Day 59 (Wed 12/9/18)    Airlie Beach   -   Marlborough Travel day, stopped at the Marlborough Pub overnight, huge meals. Day 60 (Thu 13/9/18)    Marlborough   -   Seventeen Seventy Another travel day, dropped in to Rockhampton to pick up my new solar panels I ordered after Lawn Hill.  This should keep the new batteries topped up at the beach. Then into Seventeen seventy for 2 nights.  Great views along with the sun setting over the water.                 Day 61 (Fri 14/9/18)    Seventeen Seventy Relaxing day on the water front.  A stroll along the river bank and up to the lookout, where we sighted a whale again.                                            Day 62 (Sat 15/9/18)    Seventeen Seventy   -   Kinkuna Beach (Burrum Coast NP) Short drive today from the packed camping ground at Seventeen Seventy to the hopefully quiet beach in the National Park.  A quick grocery shop in Bundaberg on the way. Then setting ourselves up right on the beach.    

Day 55 (Sat 8/9/18)   Airlie Beach - Whitsunday Cruise The Girls did some pampering this morning after a couple of months in the outback with all the dust etc.  Who could blame them.  Paul and I stocked up on alcohol and washed the cars, all in preparation for our 3 night cruise starting later today.     Then after lunch onto the “Whitsunday Blue” a 41 foot catamaran for our wander around the Whitsunday Islands.             What a wonderful start, 8 passengers and 2 crew all were great people.  All willing to give “Cards against Humanity” a go after dinner!  Great way to have fun and get to know everyone. New friends… Steve and Chris from Spain (who got engaged at Whitehaven Beach later in the cruise). Rod and Bec from Sydney Ian (Skipper) from all around, originally from Perth.  Loves his job and hugely knowledgeable about sailing despite his young age of 20. Emma (Hostess) from England, again loves her time on the boats. Day 56 (Sun 9/9/18)   Whitsunday Cruise Great sheltered spot ov
