It was a wild night with winds of 60km/h and rain. Everything that was outside was wet, regardless of where under the awning it was positioned. This morning we all enjoyed a sleep in. We explored the township of Airlie Beach. In the centre of town, they have a lookout, that also looks down on a garden designed to look like a coral reef, complete with Dory and Nemo. The roundabout is designed as a tile mosaic of a starfish. We browsed the shops and found a great book exchange. https://www.facebook.com/pg/beachbookboutique/about/

We drove to Mandalay Point, which has some extremely expensive looking homes. There is a lovely park for picnic, with rope swings and a small outdoor chapel which looks out over the ocean. As it was low tide, I was able to see into the mangroves by walking down the boat ramps.
This afternoon we went for a swim at Airlie Beach Lagoon – a great free facility on the Foreshore with a number of interconnected pools of varying depth with picnic tables and barbeques. https://www.queensland.com/en-au/attraction/airlie-beach-lagoon
