New Years Eve - Tangalooma

31/12/2010

After all the rain we had we were starting to get cabin fever. So after much weather watching we booked the first sunny day we could find to get out of the house, and we got it right!

We wet over to Tangalooma on Moreton Island for the day with Rob.

We stored our gear in the lockers and walked 25 minutes up the beach to the wrecks for some snorkeling. All the bad weather seemed to have washed up hundreds of starfish onto the beach, we threw many back into the water hoping they would survive.

We swam out to the wrecks and snorkeled around for around 40 minutes, the current was strong and the viability was poor (~1-2 meters).

We then headed back to the resort for a quad bike tour. After the debrief we hooned around the sand dunes for around 1 hour. Awesome fun.

We then had lunch and few drinks at the beer garden area overlooking the wonderful bay and beach. Then off to the pool for a swim before relaxing on the lawn while drying out.

Back to the boat for the return trip to Brisbane. A great day out.
