    Next a long uninspiring road before we reach
    The Whitsundays and our stay in Airlie Beach.
    But first calling into the airport of Proserpine
    Meeting Dieter & Michaela who arrived on time.

    Although we’ve visited here many times before
    Beautiful to see azure waters lapping the shore.
    Our first foray out proved to be totally tropical
    With a 60 second drenching that’s very typical.

    Cockatoos visited us on the rails of the balcony
    Their unique arrival squawks, a real cacophony.
    At night hearing frog croaks and plovers screech
    Whilst stone curlews moan down along the beach.

    Slow to unwind, relax and unpack each bag.
    The Great Barrier Reef beckoned an overnight sleep
    Chance to discover another world under waters deep.
