Day 30. Airlie Beach, Queensland

One of the joys of keeping the itinerary fairly loose is that we can pick up the odd bargain when it comes to accommodation. Today, we pull off one of our sweetest deals yet by blagging a stupidly cheap rate on one of the swanky resorts out on the Whitsunday Islands.

We'll be heading out tomorrow to the 5 star, uber luxurious Hayman retreat. Playground to the rich, famous and beautiful.

We don't really qualify on any of these counts, but I get news today that Joe Kinnear has been appointed as the new Newcastle manager which bags me £80 at the bookies and can't wait to blow my winnings.

I'm not very good at writing about posh places so will be handing the blogging reigns over to Wend for the next few days.
