Dave finds the source of the smell in Evolution Nightclub, Airlie BeachThe day started with Fintan and Chuck being woken up at 7am by a Channel 10 news crew who managed to get into their rooms and film their groggy bed heads. This rude awakening was followed by a TV interview which will be aired on Monday on Channel 10’s Morning Show. Chuck was delighted after the ordeal with a free Coffee in Coffee2Go on Ann Street.
So far we have met some pretty interesting characters on the journey so far. One of these is a guy called Dave, an absolute legend we chatted to as we were leaving Brisbane. The guy claims to ‘be Viagra’ and had no problems showing us his random calf muscles. Watch this space for his video interview.
We then departed on a Monster 1,000km Drive Brisbane to Airlie Beach. We truly underestimated the length of the trip which had us driving for over 14 hours. Driving was split between Dave, Chuck and Fintan with Dave steering home the last 3 hour hell section in pitch darkness. Keanu Reeves cheesiness in Point Break kept the boys entertained for a few hours on the way.
Sleepy Heads + Stuffy Car = Petty Arguments. This time it was a proposal by Fintan for a ‘song of the day’ which was slated by the rest of the group. ‘Negotiations’ are ongoing for a ‘song of the week’, however Fintan seems to be losing all hope.
We eventually arrived in Airlie beach at 12.30am where the guys at Beaches Backpackers kindly hooked us up with a place to stay for the night. From there it was to the bar for a few beers with Simon from Base Backpackers and Sallie from Beaches. A few pints and some laughs meant that overall a great night was had. Airlie Beach Nightlife is an experience in itself. We decided to go to ‘Evolution’ nightclub for a look but were greeted by a half empty, foul smelling club with cheesy dance music and smoke machines. Maybe it was the random sandal Dave found on the Dancefloor that stunk the place out. Time for bed!
