Another trip to the Island this weekend, this time with Miranda - up from Sydney. Lots of fun. Was hoping the sea would get too rough for the ferry on Sunday (on account of the cyclone that missed Townsville) and we'd all get stuck there for another day, but sadly it was not to be.
Beautiful sunset on the way over and once the wind shifted to the north the water turned an amazing luminous light blue. We took the risk of no stinger nets and went swimming in Alma Bay. I tried out my new waterproof bag for the camera, hoping to get a snap of some fish, but the water was very cloudy so I took photos of Nate swimming instead.
Managed to get a photo of a Sunbird this time - they have bright yellow bellies and kind of peep. On the way back we watched a massive container ship being manouvered by two tug boats.
The place we stayed in was so good - kind of Ballanese, wooden floors, great kitchen and a fantastic pool. Even provided a bbq. If I could I'd live on the island instead of Townsville. :)
Here's some more pics
