Airlie Beach Parkrun was our tourist run this morning – quite hilly but along the waterfront and pretty.

Dingo Beach was our lunchtime picnic spot. It was low tide and we were able to comb the beach for interesting shells and coral pieces. Once again, beautiful vistas. There are large seagrass beds and apparently there are dugong, although we were not lucky enough to spot on of these shy creatures. We did see a small group of kangaroos enjoying the shade and cool grass behind the dunes.

Next stop was Hydeaway Bay, also beautiful, but with more housing.

We finished the day at Cape Gloucester with our own private beach. I explored and took photographs, then sat down to update my journal while looking out over the ocean. At sunset we enjoyed a hot meal from the thermal cooker, while watching the sunset over the ocean (a rarity in Queensland). On our way home, we saw two wallabies crossing the road.
