Rosslyn Bay to Bundaberg

| | Comments (3)

They say a picture is worth a thousand words. So today, mostly pictures of some of the places we've been to over the past 5 days.

Joy securing the anchor while leaving Pacific Creek

Pacific Creek is at the beginning of the Narrows, a shallow waterway separating Curtis Island froom the mainland.

Cattle Crossing where the Narrows dries to 2 meters above low water

Cattle cross at low tide near the shallowest part in the Narrows.

The entrance to Lady Musgrave Island, a Coral reef 35 NM off the coast near Bundaberg

Contrasting with the Narrows was our visit to Lady Musgrave, 35 Nautical Miles off the coast near Bundaberg. It is an enclosed reef with just a small entrance indicated by port and starboard markers.

Boats at anchor inside the reef at Lady Musgrave

Once inside, it proved to be a wonderful anchorage. Clear water, wonderful snorkeling. Magic...

Dolphins playing ahead of Te Moana

And on our way to Bundagerg, I finally managed to capture a dolphin out of the water...

I was incredibly jealous of your adventure before seeing the photos... Now, I just don't have words! However, I am looking forward to rejoining for the final leg of the expedition.

When we arrive back, I'm flying (myself) straight to Inverell to help some friends with shearing at their property. So, remember to book the good weather (and that excellent chef), 'cause I'll be needing a good rest before working my butt off on the farm!

Steve, I don't suppose you need a hand flying the plane? Anyway, let's keep our fingers crossed that we'll have Northerlies all the way home!

This is a fantastic shot of a dolphin in action. I have been trying to snap a shot like this for years. I generally get just a splash of water and simply have to remember the picture that I took with my eyes. Congrats on this one.
