Cape Hillsbourgh and Cape Gloucester

Cape Hillsborough at dawn greeting Roos on the beach
Loveable Eungella National Park also within easy reach.
To patiently wait creekside being quiet, making no fuss
Spectacularly rewarded spying the playful shy platypus.

A day trip to Hamilton Island checking out the resort
Snorkel & swim plus sunset drinks returning to port.
Yet our favourite place to visit is Hydeaway Bay
Returning every weekend to enjoy our Sundays.

It’s remote, yet civilisation really is not too far
Arvo session music drifts from a distant bar.
The tide recedes leaving rock formations exposed
Revealing just how much beauty this bay bestows.

The swooping wings of many fishing gulls
Lapping waves against the moored boat hulls.
Tenders with their outboards spluttering
Myriad of migrating butterflies fluttering.

Azure ocean waters sparkling crystal clear
Dugongs and turtles playing visibly near.
Appreciation for all the area has to give
Stir feelings could this be our place to live?Read more
