We arrived early and bought our Gold Cat ferry tickets, in the beautiful sunshine, by the time the boat pulled in there was 180 people waiting to board - 165 where high school kids! We where so close to not going.....
When we got dropped off at One Mile Jetty the ferry captain had advised that there where not enough buses to take everyone as they had had a quite summer due to the weather, and they had had 130 people go over on the ferry before ours. So there was a mad dash for the bus queue.....20 minutes later we took off for Point Lookout. 20 minutes later we arrived (thank god it was air-conditioned!).
We grabbed a gelati and de-stressed looking over the ocean. Most of the kids had disappeared to the beaches, so we strolled around the Gorge, unfortunately there was no marine life due to the dirty water in the gorge.
We then walked up to the Straddie Pub for a lovely lunch and a few drinks overlooking the ocean, it was lovely (and no kids!).
We then walked to Cylinder Beach for a dip, I was too full from lunch, so I sat on the rock under the shade of a tree and watched all the swimmers. Mikey went in for a swim.
We then chilled out on the grass in the shade for 30 minutes then walked up to the bus stop. The buses where pretty packed again for the ride home. The ferry was much quieter on the way home with some very burnt bodies.
Lovely day out in the end!
