February 8


We spent this day catching up on laundry and just took our time driving down to Airlie beach where we needed to be for our next day boat tour. We stopped at a pineapple plantation and macademia nut farm. Which was actually more depressing than anything else. It is one of those tales of it use to be thriving and a total tourist destination and now they have an owner that doesn’t put any money into it and things are just broken down, not maintained and dieing to the point where the big pineapple will be no longer. And from the looks of it that is the only thing the area has going for it so it was a tad depressing. Though I did get to see a Dingo up close (which is like Australia’s version of our wolf.)
