Whitsunday Islands

We've been on Brampton Island for 3 days/nights and it has been lovely. This is a partial list of what we've seen or have swam within 3 feet of...

cockatoos, XL sea turtle, variety of L sting rays, rainbow loirkeets, reef shark, snake, XL lizards, flying fox bats, 7M fish, L bugs, ground fowl and teamed with the Aussies to beat the Frenchman at beach vball.

We've gone snorkeling everyday, catamaraning a couple days, hiking everyday, and armed with a glass of wine, watch the rowdy bats in the palms in the evenings. The food (took on the all-inclusive meal package) was great, with a Xmas buffet of sea creatures, salads, and various other prepared dishes. All meals were eaten outside on the balcony overlooking the light turquoise sea. In the morning the rainbow loirkeets would join us and eat out of our hand.

Within a couple hours we're departing by boat to the mainland to rent a car and spend the next few days exploring the coast, with a final destination of Palm Cove. That's all I have been told so far.
