Mothers Day at Great Keppel Island

What a day! We had so much fun and are all completely worn out. Started by buying a delicious coffee before going on the boat only to bring it back up from the insanely rocky trip over to Great Keppel Island. But once we arrived we started our adventures with swimming at Fisherman’s Beach, then went on a crazy adventure past the sign that said dangerous beach access, do not use this access (whoops) to Monkey Beach. We all tried to snorkel but it was a bit tricky for the kids. Being Mother’s Day I got to go have a snorkel by myself. We then decided to maybe find the easier access to get back which meant walking the full length of Long Beach before walking for another hour down the trail. We then had a lovely lunch looking over Putney Beach and Leeke’s Beach.

This is my first taste of the Southern Great Barrier Reef and I loved it. I saw some nice coloured coral and fish and a turtle swam straight past me. We had a fantastic day, with our favourite family adventures. - Lauren

It was amazing to celebrate a beautiful day with the family. Having such a strong and beautiful wife and mother of my children is truly a blessing. The day went off in true Ryder family fashion from sea sickness to taking wrong tracks and carrying the kids once their legs get sore all whilst making memories and spending a great day as a family. -Luke

I loved the beach in the morning. HenryBaca selengkapnya
