Last Day of our Whitsunday Adventure 😢

All good things must come to an end, and this has been an epic week.

We spent our last day fishing, island hoping, shell collecting, swimming, exploring and some more fishing.

A few good fish caught in the morning, me proving the biggest fish for dinner 🤣

We decided to call into Whitehaven Beach for a dip and breakfast, but we all decided that Hill Inlet was better, so we headed back there. The tide was starting to run out, so we walked up and floated down in the magical blue water.

We checked out a few smaller islands for shells, it was a bit of a mission to get in because of all the reef, but Brett got me close enough that it was only a short swim in. The first island had nothing 😕, but I got some lovely ones of the second island 🤗.

It was time for more fishing! A monster mackerel hooked in the arvo (approx 1.2m), he got off just as Brax got him to the boat so no photo, not that we could keep him there is a mackerel closure on at the moment. Bugger.

We checked out Hook Island reef for a spear, but the water on this side of the island was quite murky and no one wanted to get in.

A quick look at Nara Inlet, which we weren’t that impressed with either.

We all decided that rather than an extremely early drive back across the passage in the morning, we would head back to the Port of Airlie now.

The kids brought us home safely through the passage, driving us home into the sunset 🌅.Read more
