Day 26/72: Brisbane to Airlie Beach

Today was another travel day! After an awful night's sleep at a hostel above a nightclub in Brisbane, Tom went for a long run in the morning around Brisbane, which was great and loads of runners/cyclists were out at 6 in the morning! We got the train to the airport, where our flight was delayed due to thunderstorms over the airport. We finally boarded our plane and arrived in Proserpine. A quick shuttle bus (with a very enthusiastic driver who told us about the places we passed through) to Airlie Beach and we found our hostel and got settled in. We grabbed burgers for dinner, and went for a walk down on the beach front where we ran into some friendly guys who were also staying at the hostel who invited us to come and join their barbecue on the beach. They served us completely raw chicken, which we ended up cooking for them so that it was edible, but the conversation and company was nice, and the beach was lovely.Read more
