After the first day of the Ashes, it was time to jump on a place up to Hamilton Island. We stocked up on provisions in Airlie Beach and made our way out to Whitsunday Island to camp for a couple of nights. The campsite, which was a couple of yards from a pristine beach, was made up of a bit of flat land and a composting toilet - felt like the edge of the world. The campsite was only really accessible by boat and there was only one other couple there. Along with some bushwalking, the highlights are the wildlife - wallabies, iguanas (good news I'm told because it means that there aren't any snakes in the near vicinity), various birds and the loudest insects I've come across. Oh, and the turtles popped up for air near the beach. We had a great time, but two nights was well judged - we were ready for a warm shower and fewer insects!
We returned to good news from the Gabba - despite the fact that it was a draw, the Aussie press have slaughtered their team.
