Left in sun after a lovely few days in Charters Towers. Heading south we pass through endless sugar cane plantations. This is the heart of the industry along this stretch.
Ayr is also near the delta of the Burdekin River.
The Bruce Hwy, this far north is single lane, busy and dangerous.
Arrived at our camp for a few days. Gunna Go Caravan Park. We chose this site because we knew Airlie Beach would be very busy and more expensive. It is set in the middle of the cane fields with beautiful surrounds. Approx 25 klm from Airlie Beach.
Planning a trip to The Whitsunday Islands
On our way to Whitsunday Island at Shute Harbour
Brief Stop over at Henning and Hamiliton Island
Whitehaven Beach. Beautiful!
Lunch break amongst a few visitors
A twenty minute walk to a high point close to the beach. A panoramic view
