Hi everyone
If you have been on Flickr you will have seen my recent uploads of a holiday I had in July 2003.
Really wish I could go back now, I really need some of that warmth and relaxation
To get to this beautiful place, for me, it was a flight from Sydney to Brisbane, Brisbane to Gladstone and then we opted for the helicopter ride there, which is about 15-20 minutes, instead of the 2 hour ferry ride.
BTW - Helicopter rider was on my Bucket List
Heron Island is a coral cay in the Great Barrier Reef.
So you are totally surrounded by coral and marine animals which like coral - including reef sharks!!!

The time we were there is the humpback whale migratory season, a few were spotted in the distance, well there spouts were ☺
Heron Island is renown for the turtle's that hatch there, but that was another time of the year.
I will let the photos do the talking ☺

Starfish spotted while reef walking at low tide - no sharks, just booties to protect the feet from the sharp coral
Clams
And just to prove it was me walking out there, not being worried about sharks ☺
Always with a hat & sunnies on ☺
This is our view for the afternoon - cocktails in hand
Watching the sharks and other marine life wander in on the high tide
And after the cocktails ☺
Sunset off the gantry
Boat access blasted through the coral
It wasn't all relaxing, serious work was done on the chess board - and the kids won!!
Bye
