Day 17 Airlie Beach to Cairns 623 KM's

A great night at Airlie beach....we left at 8:15 and headed back to the Bruce Highway and onto our next stop.... It was overcast for most of the day but no rain... We went into to Bowen, as I decided I needed a Macca's breakfast, this turn out to be a poor decision on  my part as we wondered around looking for the place... John was very patient .... I was in a out in 5 mins and left Bowen behind us... Glad we did not stay there...

We pushed on up the coast , through Townville and on into Cairns where we are staying tonight.

We stopped off at Etty Bay where the rain forest meets the sea... 

We are just over half way .... around Australia .
