Whitsundays




I traveled to the Whitsundays, 74 islands make up this archipelago off of the coast of eastern Oz. Located here are some of the most breathtaking beaches and gorgeous views. I took a boat cruise, the first stop was an overlook, they had us hike up a trail and we came to a clearing and the view as incredible. The water is so blue and clear. I was chatting with a lady who told me that she loves the Whitsundays, but I need to visit Tasmania. She was a Tazzie, and told me Tasmania is completely different than Oz, it has the four seasons and I needed to make plans to visit. Sure! Why not?! So I will put that on the list of places I need to visit..

We then stopped off for a Aussie style BBQ on Whitehaven Beach, which has been voted one of the worlds best beaches..the sand is so fine it squeaks the minute you step up it, the sand is so white that the suns rays reflect off and the sand never heats up, no shoes required!

The final stop was for snorkeling, the water was a bit cool, but not too bad. I was able to spot some colorful fish and I even ran into some coral..
