Airlie Beach Queensland

Airlie Beach is a lively, but small town in Australia's Whitsunday area
in Queensland. It has a population of around 3,000 people. The Great
Barrier Reef is not far from the town. A boat ride will get you to the
reef in less than 3 hours.

The climate in Airlie Beach is
tropical. This means that summers are wet, hot and humid. Day time
summer temperatures seldom fall below 25 degrees Celsius, and the
nights are warm and sticky. It does cool down in winter and the
humidity level drops significantly. Even so, temperatures are
comfortable day and night. The only time it gets chilly is if a cold
front passes by.

The town is a sought-after holiday destination,
and particularly popular with backpackers. During the summer months of
November to May, the sea water is inhabited by stinging jellyfish. To
solve this problem, a swimming lagoon has been built on the foreshore.
It contains almost 5 million liters of fresh, self-chlorinating water.

Whether
you are looking for adventure and action, or relaxation and comfort,
you will certainly find it at Airlie Beach. This pictorial town is
situated on a scenic peninsula that extends to the Whitsunday waters.
Therefore it is a perfect base for a variety of activities in the
Whitsunday waters, on the nearby islands, and on the mainland.

Take
a guided Crocodile Safari day trip and see the wild parts of the
Whitsunday region. To kick off, you'll be taken by a tractor drawn
train to the Goorganga Wetlands. After seeing this unique area, a boat
will take you for a cruise down the still waters of the Prosperpine
River.

After seeing plenty of crocodiles and other wildlife, you
will get the chance to sample authentic bush tucker food. This is the
name Australians give to food eaten by Aboriginals for 50,000 years.
The ingredients include spices, herbs, flowers, fruits and even
insects, birds and reptiles. Don't worry, if this is not to your
liking, there's a seafood lunch and a barbecue waiting in the wings.

The
Airlie Beach area offers near-perfect diving conditions. Book a diving
trip and you'll get to see the SS Yongala wreck, then continue to the
Great Barrier Reef. These trips accommodate divers at all levels of
experience. Those who are inexperienced can take lessons.

If you are an experienced diver, you will really appreciate the vast and beautiful ocean life underwater.
