Airlie Beach - In the pool bar with Vaughan and Bead

On the Friday night at Airlie Beach we had a Hog's Breath steak - this is a chain of restaurants that serve extremely good steak, Mike you would love it, they recommend rare to medium! Our area of Queensland is renowned for good steaks.
After feasting, we went to one of the main bars there and Andy joined a pool competition! There were 16 entrants and Andy got through to the final, but unfortunately he lost due to a few spawny shots by the other player. The guy who won apparently goes round all the pool comps, as the prizes are pretty good, he won $50AUD for this (£23). Andy won a jug of beer so he was happy. While the competition was on we got chatting to some lads from Toowoomba (inland from Brisbane) who had come up on a fishing trip, we ended up chatting with them through the night, also met some guys from Canada and a couple from England - the lad was a Liverpool fan so Andy and him had a good footy chat. The girl from England was entering the wet t-shirt competition later that night and asked us to cheer her on, Andy really didn't want to, but felt that he ought to be there to support her... The wet t-shirt competition was a good laugh actually, the English girl went all out to win, but got pipped in the final by a Halle Berry look-a-like. The club was great, lots of good dancing tunes, and a brilliant atmosphere. We ended up having our latest night in Oz yet, a staggering 1.30am!

The next day we were very delicate and didn't get up till late. We had a look round the shops at Airlie Beach and sat by the lagoon for a bit, then went back to the hotel to sunbathe by the pool. That night we didn't really feel like another big session (must be the age) so went for a Chinese (dire) and then had a couple of drinks in town. We met up with the fishing guys to say bye, and Vaughan gave me his t-shirt as a souvenir!
