Having done 3 Islands in one day we decided to spend our last full day on the Cannes/Monte Carlo of Queensland - Hamilton.We arrived in the morning - spending $600 to get there (the argument was it avoided the bogans), booked a golf cab/buggy thing to get around and went over to "Resort". This is on Catseye beach, an iconic tropical beach and part of the 2-3 main hotels here. Its also "free" to us, having paid to get here, and we settled in for the day. My interest in staring at tropical paradise beaches all day was beginining to wane, but it was gobsmackinlgy beautiful.
Sharon and I hired a Kayak and went out to where the Sea Turtles fed. We managed to see three of these guys, but trapped on the surface, on a small boat, we saw little more. Fighting to keep oursleves in line with the waves we made our way back to shore.
After a lunch of good wine and great prawns, we left Phil and Sam to the beach and went round the Island on our buggy. There were some great vantage points, some huge houses, and an inability to get into the gated hotel community of Qualia http://www.qualia.com.au/, one of the worlds newest must go to places. My AMEX Black Card was obviously never going to open the gates.
A few hours later we took the boat back to Airlie Beach, tired and ready for our last day.
