Photo of the Week: Whitsunday Islands

The Whitsunday Islands are the perfect place to sail, relax, and take in some of the calmest seas in Australia.  I spent three days sailing the islands with other backpackers from all corners of the world.  The best part of each day was watching the sun go down over the Queensland coast.

  6. Beautiful pics of Whitsunday Islands they are the collection of islands found off the coast of Queensland in Australia. It is believed that the name of the islands was a misnomer caused by Captain James Cook of the British navy
