Airlie Beach

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.

Our guests felt odd consumed with jet lag
Slow to unwind, relax and unpack each bag.
The Great Barrier Reef beckoned an overnight sleep
Chance to discover another world under waters deep.Weiterlesen
