Relaxing, Boogie Boarding and Whale Watching!

4 hours south of Airlie Beach is Kinka Beach. At Kinka Beach we relaxed and swam. We had the whole splash park and water slides to ourselves for the afternoon. One slide was quick and the other was twisty and turny. The van park was awesome. It had a big pool, big splash park, 2 big slides, jumping pillow, a BMX track and a big lake. There are also plenty of "midgees" which are tiny little bugs which bite you, mainly around sunset.

Agnes Water caravan park was right on the beach so we spent most of our time at the beach. The waves were gentle and good for learning so we had a go at boogie boarding, building sand castles and collecting shells. We also did a treasure hunt that our cousins buried for us last year at a place called 1770. It was cool. 1770 was named by Captain Cook when he landed there in 1770! We saw hundreds of blue butterfly's. We also had another go at fishing, but didn't catch any fish.

Agnes Water Beach! Perfect Waves!

At Hervey Bay we went for a bike ride along the esplanade once we got there. We went for 3 swims in the heated pool. The water is getting colder as we travel south. My brother had a birthday while we were here so we went tenpin bowling and saw RIO 2 at the movies. The highlight was definitely a whale watching cruise where we got so close to the whales, they even went under our boat. A baby whale is called a "calf". We also walked out to the end of a pier which was 850 metres long. A lady gave us some small fish to throw up to a pelican who was sitting on the light pole.
