Holiday resorts and residential apartments.

Two kilometres after you get to town, Rob Bredl's Barefood Bushman Wildlife Park, with the greatest crocodile show, plus lots of animals. Rob Bredl's 33 episode documentary series Killer Instinct was screened on the US Outdoor Life Network in 2002. Now alas shut down to planning restrictions.

Computer and Internet

Except for Internet Whitsunday, these are all outside the Airlie Beach shopping area. I have a page listing all I know.
