This morning we sat on a beach called Lover's Cove which was really lovely and the palm trees gave some shade and a gentle breeze kept us reasonably cool. A wedding was due to take place in the afternoon and it would then be closed to the public. We left Daydream Island for the afternoon to take a boat to Whitehaven Beach which is in complete contrast to where we've been staying. It has miles of really white, fine sand. The boat (a catamaran) came really close to the shore and then a ramp was lowered from the front of the boat to let people off. The beach is miles long and is so white and fine, however, the huge black flies that bite spoil it a bit! The beach can only be reached by boat and there were a couple of private boats there and a sea plane. The sea was so clear and blue and I went straight in for a swim. I was told afterwards that I should have worn a stinger suit as the jelly fish are really dangerous and they are 'in season'. Chris was happy to wear one!
We leave Daydream Island early tomorrow morning and expect another long coach ride to make our way to Fraser Island with a night at Rockhampton to break the journey. We've just eaten and are ready to go and pack our bags again. This living out of a suitcase is a bit tedious!
