Airlie Beach
The gateway to the Great Barrier Reef and Whitsunday Islands,
Airlie Beach is a small town in the Whitsunday region and is a
fabulous place to enjoy the day and soak up all there is in this
idyllic setting. With a great variety of activities to enjoy such
as snorkelling, fishing, crocodile safaris and scenic flights of
Whitehaven Beach, there's plenty to see and do in this laid-back
and picturesque town. The vibe is simply electric with
holidaymakers lining the streets, beer gardens overflowing and bars
and clubs pumping until the wee hours. Travellers should be aware
that the Irukandji jellyfish, which pack a powerful sting, pose a
major threat to swimmers during the months of November to May when
they abound in the water, but a medium sized swimming lagoon on the
foreshore is the perfect place to cool off on a hot summer's
day.

Money
The Australian Dollar (AUD) is divided into 100 cents. Banks and
bureaux de change exchange most foreign currencies. Travellers
cheques are also welcome everywhere, but banks take a small
commission and it is better to take cheques in major currencies
(e.g. US dollars or Euros) to avoid additional charges. Credit
cards are widely accepted and ATMs are freely available throughout
the country. Banking hours are generally 9.30am to 4pm Monday to
Thursday, and 9.30am to 5pm on Friday, but some banks offer
extended hours and some are open on Saturday mornings.
