Airlie Beach

We got an early flight from Melbourne into a slight windy Proserpine airport which was half an hour from Airlie Beach. After checking into our hotel we went for brunch to discuss what activities we wanted to do while we were close to the Great Barrier Reef. As we were having brunch it started to get a little bit more windy and raining. It was only then, that we realised that the boats and barges were coming in off the sea. We looked up the weather forecast and found out that a cyclone was on its way for the Airlie Beach and Whitsunday island area.

The harbour was closed for two days so all tours to the Great Barrier Reef were cancelled. It was unfortunate but we just had to laugh that we arrived into a cyclone. We stocked up on food and drink supplies and had two unexpected rest days. It's a shame we didn't get to see the Great Barrier Reef but it's an excuse to have to come back to Australia.Okumaya devam et
