Airlie Beach is a large beachside community with lots of nice places to eat, sleep and play. Airlie is 590kms from Gladstone and 270km from Townsville. Airlie Beach is popular amongst backpackers on their way north to Cairns and the Great Barrier Reef, as well as families and yachtsman. It is also the base from which to explore and sail around the Whitsundays, with many trips out to the Great Barrier Reef. Other attractions around Airlie Beach include plenty of water activities, horse riding, sky diving, quad bike riding, walking around the Conway National Park and the Vic Hislop Great White Shark and Whale Expo. The nightlife in Airlie Beach is also good, with plenty of bars and clubs so you can dance the night away.
People cruising up from Gladstone and Rocky or further south can stop over in Mackay on Saturday night. Then leave Mackay on Sunday from Subaru North Jacklin to meet up with the North Queensland (Townsville/Ayr etc) drivers at Proserpine and then cruise on through to Shute Harbour and finish at Airlie Beach for the night. Its a really great drive!!
If you need a place to stay at Airlie Beach book into the “Airlie Beach Hotel” in the center of town, it overlooks the ocean and town central. It has undercover secure parking, a good bar, a couple of restaurants downstairs and a pool. For southern Travellers book into Mackay hotels early as they get very busy on the weekends.
Last year we had a total of 21 cars coming from all over the state, including Townsville, Ayr, Mackay, Rockhampton, Moranbah, & Gladstone.
For an idea of what the cruise looked like last year, see our gallery for pictures.
Already there is discussion in our MackayWRX forums and in the National Rexnet forums.
