Sailing in Australia / Whitsunday islands
I have heard that the Whitsunday islands are the best place to learn
to sail in Australia - is this true? If so can anyone recommend any of
the Whitsunday sailing schools to me?
I will be arriving in October and have about 5 weeks. Where are the
budget places to stay? Is there anything inportant I should consider?
Any other tips on places to visit and things to do in the area would
be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Tom

Re: Sailing in Australia / Whitsunday islands
Airlie Beach, on the mainland, is the budget place to stay when not on
board a sailing boat -- there must be a dozen or more backpackers'
hostels as well as motels of all price ranges in town. There is a
range of eateries from McDonald's to high-end restaurants). From
Airlie you can get boats to many islands and to the reef, as well as
taking sailing lessons at a number of places. October is, btw, a great
time of year to visit, but be sure to come after Queensland school
holidays end (October 6) to avoid the crowds of locals. By
mid-November the weather may be hotting up a bit, but should otherwise
still be quite good. Enjoy!
