Bowen

<Rémi>
We went to Bowen, not far from Airlie Beach.  It has a bay with lots of coral for snorkelling.

 

Unfortunately the weather was cold and windy - not good for snorkelling.

All the boys climbed the rocks..




and Asha collected coral.

There was lots of coral so would have been good snorkelling if the water was clear.

 

The wind did make good waves, so Dad & I went boogie boarding

 

There was a big sea snake on the beach.

 

It has a flat vertical tail for steering through the water.

Bowen has a pretty cool skatepark too.

 

Now Asha has a two wheel scooter too, so we all got to ride

 

Next to the skatepark was a waterpark

 

 

 The weather wasn't great for snorkelling, but we still had fun!

Airlie Beach

<Mum>
We travelled to Airlie beach on the coast.  this was a rest stop for a couple of days for the kids to play in the caravan park playground.

There were many bush stone curlews in the caravan park.  They have a loud screech at night that sounds like a person screaming.  This one is standing still - it thinks that if it stands still, we won't be able to see it!

Lots of ibis in the park too.

Lots of playing in the playground...

 

Mini golf...

 

Asha's golf tip:  If it doesn't go in the hole first time, just pick it up and put it in there!

Giant chess...


Jumping...

 

 

 

 

 

 

and waterslides...

 

 

 Even I went on the slides!

 

 Asha got an early birthday present..

..there was good scootering roads here
