The stars are coming out to our backyard. Adam Wratten
reports.
Airlie
Beach and the Whitsundays have been discovered as
the latest playgrounds for Hollywood's A-list of stars.
Rich
and famous superstars could be wandering past you
the next time you visit the areas.
The
likes of Mariah Carey and Shania Twain are donning
big hats and fat sunglasses to avoid the spotlight
(and sunlight).
A
Tourism Whitsundays spokesperson said the pair had
been shopping together at the Airlie Beach markets.
The
spokesperson said the couple went unnoticed on their
trip.
This
week guests at Hamilton Island found they were neighbours
with sexy pop star Holly Valance.
The
actor-come-singer, who has taken Britain by storm,
has been holidaying on the Whitsundays island.
Other
stars to have visited the Whitsundays in the last
year include Rod Stewart, Charlie Sheen, Chris Isaak,
Olivia Newton-John, members of the 2002 NRL premiers,
the Sydney Roosters and the AFL's losing grand finalists
Collingwood.
And
while there are more, resorts were unable to reveal
the names of some guests due to confidentiality agreements.

Rod
Stewart, Chris Isaak, Olivia Newton-John, Collette
Dinnigan at Hayman Island;
