8/07/2018 – 13/07/2018 Lady Elliot Island
Great Barrier Reef, QUEENSLAND
Darumbal country
Participants: Paul Davies, Stephen Davies (Photos), Sue Davies (Report)
We spent a wonderful five nights at the Lady Elliot Eco resort which is the only accommodation on this small coral cay. The island is accessed by a short scenic flight from Hervey Bay or Bundaberg.
When you first arrive you wonder how you will occupy your time on such a small island. It takes about a day to get into the island rhythm and then you don’t want to leave.
The snorkeling is excellent. On high tide you can snorkel in the lagoon which has an incredible variety of tropical fish, octopus, coral and abundant turtles. Swimming with turtles who appear to be unperturbed by our presence is such a beautiful experience. At low tide you can join a guided reef walk with the marine biologists who are part of the activities team.
