zed3,
Yes Whitsunday coast is Prosepine with
VB. They fly direct from SYD, MEL and BNE. When you get to proserpine you can get a bus into Airlie which run every 15 - 30 minutes. You may have to book this prior to getting there. Whitsunday transit are the best in my opinion you can have a look at every thing on their website

Hope this helps
