Raindrops Keep falling on my Head!!

We left Yeppoon in pouring rain - rain like you've never seen before, unless of course you are Aussie!! didn't think we would get very far but actually did our longest drive yet to Airlie Beach which is the Gateway to the Whitsunday Islands. We drove through flooded roads - the main motorway through!! but got here and found a fantsatic apartment.

Apparently this rain is the end of the drought which has lasted 3 years!!! and people keep thanking us for bringing the rain from Europe! They had a lot of boat damage here 2 days ago over 40 boats were wrecked in the storms.

We are keen to visit some of the Islands but while the weather is still stormy just waiting to see.
