Visiting Airlie Beach Australia

2010 January 18

If you are a tourist and you are searching for a great place in all of Australia, then head for Airlie Beach. A small town, it is situated in Whitsunday region quite close to the Great Barrier Reef. Hence, it is an ideal place for sight seeing as well as a great experience of pleasures and joys.

Brisbane often tends to be the starting point for any holiday maker who is visiting Queensland – Brisbane being the capital city. Its strategic location allows it to function as the gateway to the entire state. While in Brisbane why not visit the center for arts and culture – South Bank.

This is where Queensland Museum, the Gallery for Modern Arts, the Performing Arts Center and the Art Gallery are all situated. Otherwise, take time to visit Lone Pine Koala, the Riverlife Adventure Center, Story Bridge and Moreton Bay Islands.

Around Airlie
After you leave the airport, you can opt for the bus service to go to the Airlie town or the second option is taxi. The rates of both are around $15 Australian. It is about 40 minute’s journey to town center from the airport.

What to do at Airlie
You should know Airlie Beach is not the best place to swim. October to May you will find jellyfish frequently in the coastal waters and you won’t be able to swim in those months without a special diving suit. However you will find a wonderful man-made lagoon which provides for many of the delights of the sea. This man made lagoon is also safe for kids. This lagoon is watched over by lifeguards.

There is a local market near to the beach. This market is a weekly market and opens on Saturdays. There you will find all the local stuff like food and craft items at good prices too. Over all, Airlie beach is a wonderful place to relax so start planning your itinerary now.
