Introduction |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
My new friend,
Pam and I, decided to do a trip |
|
|
|
|
|
to Airlie Beach
in Jun-22, and take in some of |
|
|
|
|
|
the delights on
the way there and back. |
|
|
|
|
|
We wanted to do
the INLAND tracks North of |
|
|
|
|
|
Noosa, and the
Seaside track from Baffle Ck. |
|
|
|
|
|
to Agnes Water.
However, the recent heavy |
|
|
|
|
|
rains prevented
this on the way up. So we took |
|
|
|
|
|
the good roads
to Agnes Water/1770 and |
|
|
|
|
|
stayed the
nite. Then did the short hop to |
|
|
|
|
|
Yeppoon, and
stayed at the magnificent |
|
|
|
|
|
Bayview Towers,
on the TOP floor, with great |
|
|
|
|
|
views. This was
our base for 2 nites while we |
|
|
|
|
|
did the trip
into the Byfield National Park, which |
|
|
|
|
|
included some
serious 4WD'g….Big SANDY |
|
|
|
|
|
which was more
difficult than BIG RED in |
|
|
|
|
|
Birdsville, and
other difficult tracks to beach. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
From Yeppoon,
we trundled off to Airlie Beach |
|
|
|
|
|
and stayed at a
local convenient motel, in the |
|
|
|
|
|
middle of the
town. Looked all around Airlie Bch |
|
|
|
|
|
my (Parj's) old
home town, and did the |
|
|
|
|
|
mandatory
cruise around the Islands and spent |
|
|
|
|
|
some time on
Whitehaven Beach. Now let the |
|
|
|
|
|
photos tell the
tale :- |
