Day 135 March 24th 2007, Mermaids - Hamilton Island to Airlie Beach

After giving the boat a quick wash down we had a few hours before we had to catch the ferry back to the mainland, we took the opportunity to check out some of the holiday homes for sale on the Island, overlooking catseye bay the view was impressive but the apartments a little dated. After a quick bit of lunch we caught the ferry back to Shute Harbor, a short taxi ride later and we were in Airlie Beach. Back on dry land we had an easy night before our long drive to Cairns tomorrow.

Only businesses are allowed cars on the Island making golf buggies the best way to get around

It's official mermaids do exist

Not wanting to waste any drinking time the Aussies invented the drive through off license

Highlights: The ferry ride from Hamilton to Shute was very scenic
