Sunday night we met with the Waltzing Matilda gang - France, Faroe Islands, Scotland, Italy and England represented. Location was a backpackers pub in Airlie Beach - noisy, rocking and cheap. Food was reasonable, drink cheap and company excellent. Buying jugs of beer brought back many pleasant memories!
Monday morning it was up and away - we drove from Airlie to Mission Beach - life is a beach as they say. A long drive broken up by some great stops - lunch was at Home Hill - a fantastic little bakers selling traditional Aussie meat pies! Early afternoon on Baygal Beach and then late afternoon ice cream at the Frosty Mango.
This part of Queensland seems to be central to growing fruit and veg - we even saw the giant mango to go with our other giant fruits!
Mission Beach looks lovely - we are 50m from the beach so tomorrow will be a no car day! 450+km today and fortunately no delays.
