The first island we visit in Australia, in this continent the prices for ferries are unreasonable, a one way and return would cost the normal guy 23 (Australian) dollars, while the same journey with a car on the ferry, would cost 150 dollars !!! that's a rip off. Anyway, now you know why we traveled in this island for the first time since we bought it, without our portable home.
We got a little bit disappointed from the tracks and from the snorkeling, the 2 main reasons why we came to this island.
We have picked the longest track in the island, it was called - "West Point" and it is 16 km return, during that time we couldn't see the ocean, the route was not exactly a typical bush route, the walk was mainly on the vehicle gravel road, and to do it return ? what's the point at that if you don't see interesting things on the way ? BUT, the beaches at the end of this track where one of the best we have seen in Queensland.
At Florance bay we went to snorkel, "this is the most beautiful place to snorkel" we have been told, so after we rented the snorkeling equipment we found out this is a nice place but nothing more, the reefs and corals at Thailand are much better than here, in Yoni's opinion.
The atmosphere in the island itself reminded us a bit of Thailand islands, everything was lay back and everybody seemed to have all the time in the world.
that's it for now,
Have fun,
Efrat & Yoni.
