Airlie Beach

Airlie Beach is a small strip with some shops and hotels overlooking the most spectacular crystal blue waters we’ve ever seen. Sine we had the afternoon free before a big night out we rented scooters with a friend Matt from Newcastle, England. Both Matt’s drove and Matt Chep had the new Mrs. on the back. Check out our silly pictures - we had a great time touring the beach area like paparazzi on our little mopeds and deciding which gorgeous mansion we’d like to live in.

That night we went to The Beaches bar and restaurant with the whole Connections gang. Matt tried kangaroo! So now he has seen it, worn it, and now eaten it. After some dinner and drinks we went to a few other bars on the strip with our friends. However, we were sidetracked since the Olympic Opening Ceremony was commencing and so we pretty much watched the tvs while Team China did a fantastic job with all their technical show and flying singing little girl.

The next morning we said goodbye to a few of our friends as we got back in Eliza and trekked on to Undara. A full day of traveling is needed to cross over the mountain range and into the Australian outback complete with spectacular caves, red rock and sand, and some of the most deadliest spiders and snakes in the world. AHH!
