The suburb of Manly is on Morton Bay, to the south of the Brisbane River estuary. We are currently staying at Morton Bay Backpackers Lodge (above Celtic Corner Pub). The Above photo is of Manly beach which is very very small.

Us Happy As Ever!
Morton Island - Extreme Package
The cruise across was very nice, however as we approached the island it started to rain. Our guide told us to change to our swim wear just as the rain came. I didn't want to go in but knew it would be good once we were in the water.
The Tagalooma wrecks (sunken barges) are used as a breakwater as well as creating a habitat for coral and tropical fish.
Just after our snorkelling WHICH WAS AMAZING!!!! I just wish we had an underwater camara!
The Wrecks
Adam and our guide Jeff
Guess Who
Adam and his sand board (plank of wood)
The Desert
Going down the dune, head first - closed mouth and sunglasses needed!
We have a funny video of Hannah going down tamdum with Jeff which we will upload soon.
Adam near the bottom of the dune
Hannah flying down. She got the furthest at the bottom so she has to take Jeff our for a Thai meal :)
Us and the Mullen family, who were also on the tour.
The Pacific Coast! East coast of Morton Island - can't swim due to the amount of bull sharks and the odd great white
Our tour van - there is so much off roading in the centre of the island. It was a very bumpy ride
Looking south to the Tangalooma Resort. The fishing on the west coast is really good hence all the boats dotted around the wrecks
First Ladies Sailing Club - Thats what the guide said :)

More constipated than Manly i would say Adam!!
ReplyDeleteThe sand boarding looks great fun and such a shame you didn't have a camera for the snorkelling- did you see any fish or just plant life?
Nice to see the blue sky in your pics- i'm pretty sure it hasn't stopped raining once today :(

I wasn't constipated...just a little embarrassed.
ReplyDeleteWe will invest in a water proof camera when we are up at the great barrier reef. So thousands of fish!!! fed them as well
Europe is having a heat wave isn't it?
