After Tasmania we flew to The Whitsunday Islands in Queensland. We flew into Hamilton Island, into the smallest airport we have ever been to. They didn't even have a baggage belt, they just drove to baggage carts right up to us. We then took a bus to the harbour to take ferry to Airlie Beach, back on the mainland. We would have loved to stay at Hamilton Island but Airlie Beach was much cheaper. It was beautiful landing on an island. As the theme of our vacation time, the weather was not to best. We had planned to take a day tour of the Whitsunday Islands but with the hefty price tag and rainy weather we decided to stay around Airlie beach. We hate that we missed out on views like this...

We did have 5 great days. We decided to splurge on a 2 bedroom apartment which was great because we had a ton of down time there. We got down to the lagoon one decent morning for some swimming and every chance we got we went swimming in the pool at our hotel. Our vacation was different than we expected but it was great having down time before coming home.
A few pictures from our time at Airlie Beach:
