Gnairlie Beach (Part 1)



So I'm still on spring break right now, I have another week left of shenanigans to engage in. But i dont have any other trips planned, 1) because i dont have any more money (fuck...) and 2) My trip to Airlie Beach/Whitsunday was so incredible I dont even really need another trip. Sure it would be dope to check out so more cities on the East Coast of Oz but the borderline financial crisis that im in is kinda hindering my adventures. Having said that, I'm not trippin because while I was up North, I got to go to the beach with the purest sand in the world, Scuba Dive in the Great Barrier Reef again, get to know some real town folk, and i got to do it with some of the biggest cruisers I know. When we flew into Mackay Airport it was cloudy and raining, we prayed that it would not be like this during our spring break. And sure enough our prayers were answered, we got beautiful sunshine most of the time there with an occasional drizzle. Spring/Summer time up north is the rainy season, so if anyone is thinking about travelling there during that time just know youre gonna get a down pour and it will be more of a buzz kill than the girl who keeps drunkenly crying and breaking her heels... When we got to our rooms we were astonished to see that we had a villa 200m away from the beach. We had 2 queen beds, 2 twins, a fold out couch and a big ass TV. The Beach Court Holliday Villas hooked it up fat for us, they put up with 3am techie beats and a couple of "unregistered guests".


The town of Airlie Beach is pretty solid, its not that big but there is still a lot of nightlife. I mean we were only there for 5 days and we got to know plenty of people in town, every day we would see people that we met the night before, some people were super hung choy and some were chipper, the coolest part of the town has to either be the rockin club Mama Africa's or the dank lagoon with the infinity sand. We got to see the farmers market, where they offer camel rides along the beach and Herzi, Sonya, and I got to talk to this borderline skate legend who told us when he used to skate around with the Dogtown boys, Caballero, and Lasek. All in all Airlie Beach was a perfect spot for a group of 6 girls and 2 guys to rage the night away and enjoy the beautiful sights during the day.
