Roadtrip: Whitsunday Islands (camping in paradise)

November 5th, 2011 by alex

Early morning wakeup to board to Scamper out to the Whitsunday Islands.

Our own private taxi – the captain asked us if we were going to live on the island (I guess we had a lot of stuff…)

 Arriving at Whitehaven Beach!!!!!!!!!!! Words cannot describe how beautiful this island is.

“Where is your seat Mum?”

We camp in comfort when we have a boat to carry all our gear.

 The troops are exhausted! I think I’ll go sit on the beach…

 While the bubbie is still snoozing, we enjoy the crystal clear warm water.

 Happy, happy!

 She is awake and ready for some beach action!

 “How about we build a tidal pool to play in Dad?”

 Early evening walk up the beach

 Taken by our new German friends just as the party boat arrives to the island. We met Jerry and Anna who camped next to us, the poor young travellers had been dining on ramen noodles for weeks so we brought them into our camp and fed them a yummy dinner and breakfast before they had to go.

 Now off to explore the island and Hill inlet. I have never seen water so blue

 Page saw one her favorite things up close! A helicopter and she can even say the word now…

 After 12 km’s Page was still a trooper and loved playing with Dad’s hat

 I couldn’t resist painting Page’s toenails *Coral* while she slept – she woke and giggled at her new pretty toes…

Rainforest hike over to Chance Bay
