Anyone cruise to Airlie Beach last week with Pacific Dawn (April 27)? Were shops and tours operating?

The last report (two weeks ago) I saw there were no tours and most of the town was still closed.

They are rebuilding slowly.

Yes that's the last I heard too. Seems to be more open now but hard to get info. Thanks!

The 'Boss and I are doing a North Queensland Road Trip in August for 3 weeks, I hope Airlie is open for business, calling in there. It was too hot to explore Airlie when we called in there on QM2 in March, not long before the Cyclone hit NQ.

 

Doing Rockhampton, Emerald, Longreach, Charters Towers, Townsville, Mackay, back to Rocky and fly home via Brisvegas/Canberra.:cool:

 

All the motels I have booked in NQ are open for business.:halo:

 

NQ needs the tourists in there now, to help recover from Cyclone Debbie.

We were on the Sea Princess scheduled to call on the 12/4/17 but it was cancelled. We were intending on doing a reef tour with Ocean rafting and they were still operating. They have a cyclone proof boat shed that did the job. There's a bit of a push to advertise that the Whitsundays are open for business, so it would be interesting to know how it's going.

We were there a few weeks ago. Shops open. The lagoon was damaged and shut.

Good on you Uncle Les.

Have some fun and spend some hard earned money to help them out.
