Whitsundays - Islands In The Sun.
The Whitsunday islands lie in the coral sea midway along the
Queensland coast. A group of over seventy islands make up the
archipelago of treed islands and soft sandy beaches. The
protected waters around the islands provide a haven for boaties.

passages with plenty of harbours and secluded sheltered bays to
hide away in. Drop your anchor and spend a night in the crystal
clear waters of your own personal paradise. Airlie Beach is the
