Special mention to Cate Morris, living on Percy Island, but visiting her house in Strathdickie, near Proserpine, not far from Airlie Beach, for a bit of a tidy up, and we are eternally grateful to her for that. She donated to us while we were at the servo in St Helen's Creek and then invited us to stay with her, to use her place as a base for a few days. We did, digging some storm trenches for her, and from there things went spectacular.
In Airlie Beach things got off to a blinder! Fantasea Adventure Cruising offered us a visit to the Great Barrier Reef on Friday, if we agreed to dress up as King Neptune and a Mermaid on Saturday in Airlie Markets. Did we hesitate? Of course not. Adrienne and Portia are beautiful. Truly.
To Shane, at Tropix Photography, who cleaned Anne's camera filter for her.
To Beeches Backpackers, who allowed us to collect some money for Book Aid, despite the stern frowns and attempted intervention of an irate bouncer. Cheers dude.
To Con Raptis, of Neptune's Fish and Chips, on the Esplanade in Airlie Beach, who donated to us a fish platter when we needed it the most. Finger lickin stuff.
To the lovely girl at Tribal Travel in Airlie who saw no reason not to let us just have a little time on the internet. Thanks.
To Gordon at Wisdom Health Lab in Airlie, who donated to us three sandwiches for lunch on thursday.
To Flamos kebabs, Airlie Beach, who donated to us our Friday fill. Pretty good too.
The Tourist Information shop let us use the internet also. Cheers Big Fella.
Denise and Adriaan Vanderlugt, of Strathdickie, people we inadvertently bumped into at the market when Adriaan donated to us three caricatures, who as it turns out are friends and neighbours of Cate, and very talented, creative and interesting people. Went for lunch at their house the next day - an eye-opening experience.
Cheers to Peter Madison, one of the stallholders in Airlie Market, who invited us for tea in Bowen. A true blue and lovely man.
To Dave and Julieann at Cafe Mykonos on Shute Harbour Road, Airlie Beach, who donated our dinner to us. Bloody top tucker too.
