Camping in the whitsundays
Hi, I have been thinking about flying up to the whitsundays or airlie beach for a few days in July / August.
Possibly camping or a cheap unit (if there is such a thing)
Any tips, or recommendations. It would be 1 adult and 1 child of 12
Thanks in advance

Hi jazzys
We'll be there in August time too, according to my Lonely Planet, budget accommodation is plentiful
I can't recommend these, but my book does:
www.backpackersbythebay.com starts at $22 per night
www.islandgateway.com.au does camping & cabins from $19 for camping & $50 for a cabin
www.magnums.com.au does rooms & camping from $15
Best of luck & maybe we'll catch up in August for a beer

Re: Camping in the whitsundays
There are loads of backpackers, all around Oz,( all ages also) which I feel is a great way of meeting people, but just to be aware, to try and avoid the 'party' backpacker hostels if you have a child with you. YHA hostels are usually pretty good.
Lots now are very family friendly though.

PM ME!! I have some top out of the way places if you're willing to explore off the beaten track and have the majority of the island to yourself. (I've camped there myself). I live in the Whitsunday area, so I should know if you pardon that statement!!

We're flying into Brisbane, picking up a car & then spending 2 weeks driving up the coast to Cairns before catching a flight back to Melbourne. We can't wait!!!
Any offers of beers & barbies en route will be very gratefully received as we will have the girls (11 & 13 by then) so any teen input will be very welcome

Hey SC!
How are you?
Yes I + car means I know Proserpine, hee hee! It's about an hour up the road. I see you want a job in NQ...you smart woman!!! What sort of work are you after? I´ll keep my eye, ear and antenae out.
What do you want to know about "Prossie"? (Forgive the lame Australian lingo).
Love Vegemite.
