Last day in Mission Beach

Today is our last day in Mission Beach, the sun is shining again (we have been very lucky with the weather seeing as, in these parts, this time of year is known as The Wet.) Spent the day packing and tidying (in this heat you do everything slowly) and hiding in the pool. Tonight we are...

Lazy H

Getting lazy, must be something to do with the laid back way of life out here...or maybe it's a sign I'm turning into a traveller beach bum...nooooooo! Had a surfing lesson and loved it, would love to take it up =) But anyway, check out the photos I've just put up and comments would be lovely...

Back to Mission Beach

After a morning of waiting for the rain to stop the sun eventually came out to play, so it was pool time, in between sessions of packing and tidying, and BBQ in the evening; sigh, it just had to be prawns again.

G'day Sydney

The 9 hour flight from Mumbai to Sydney couldn't really have been any better, we had 2 seats each and the time flew, literally. We say it couldn't have gone any better....it would have been nice if, after 5 months of curries, Quantas didn't serve us curry for breakfast after curry for evening...

Gladstone to Cairns

We caught the taxi to the airport, the security at Gladstone is certainly different to any other. We arrived within 40 minutes of our flight and were checked in and handed our boarding cards to the same person at the gate 30 minutes later! The funny part was on arrival at Rockhampton we all...

Heron Island back to Gladstone

Well this was our last few hours in paradise, the children managed to do some more junior rangers and gained two badges for all their hard work. Shaun and Karen went for one last snorkel. The cases were packed up and we had to leave, but we spent every last moment in the pool and arrived on the...

Heron Island

Shaun went off diving again in the morning, whilst the children did their Junior Rangers again. Karen sat by the pool and read her book ALL day (about time too says Karen). That evening was the seafood buffet in the restaurant and there were mountains of huge prawns, Moreton Bay bugs, crabs,...

Heron Island

Shaun had received a passout for diving again today and managed to see 2 octopuses (1 on each dive, if he hadn't have manged to photo them nobody would have believed him). The children became Junior Rangers for the day and went on a Turtle track hunt. They can now tell the different tracks made...

Heron Island

Today we set off on the catamaran to Heron Island. The journey didn't go to well as Sally had a nosebleed before we left, and as the sea was quite rough Chris' stomach didn't stand up too well - enough said! Apparently the sea had been so rough over the New Year the catamaran and helicopter...

Sydney to Gladstone

This was our last morning in Sydney so it was back to the packing and sorting for Karen. Shaun took the children out to have a go on a bungee trampoline where they both did a backflip! Shaun bought himself a Digereedo and was shown in the shop how to play it - so there should be some interesting...
