Friday
was our coolest day weather wise, so we took advantage and did a hike around
the island. This hike is approximately 9 kilometers long, but quite relaxing.
There are 4 main lookouts, and the chapel along the way. The outlook from the
chapel is south, overlooking the marina and the Whitsunday Islands. It seems
like a beautiful place for a wedding. The Marina Lookout was three kilometers
off course from the track we were on, so we gave it a miss. Dolphin Point faces
north, and you can see the mainland from here. It is about thirty metres above
the ocean. The view is just awesome, and so relaxing. The main lookout, on top
of the island, faces south, and Woody reckons that on a clear day you can see
right down to Hamilton Island form here. Unfortunately, we were not so lucky
today. 3 hours later we had finished our trek and were ready for a feed. Friday
night is “cook your own BBQ” night, so there are steaks, rissoles, sausages and
chicken aplenty. You pick what you want, buffet style, and then throw it on the
barbie and cook to your liking. Another plus is that the barbie is in the staff
bar so, needless to say, we spent the night and got absolutely wankered. Luvvo
and I decide we are going to start a band, Vomiting From All Orifices, and
have a name planned for our first album – 30 Cone Screamers. I told you we were
pissed.
