Heron Island

Wow. We have had the best 4 days  at Heron Island. It is the most beautiful spot.
The Harbour

Its like your own little secluded island. There were less that 100 people on the island so whenever you were walking around the island you felt like you were the only people on the island. The water was so clear and a pretty turquoise green. The island is right on the Great Barrier Reef so coral and pretty fish everywhere.
 the weather was perfect so we could snorkel every day. We even swam with sharks. I coulnd't believe it. We went out on the outer edge of the reef and saw some beautiful things.

 I didn't last very long but Barry snorkelled for ages. We even snorkelled with Mantareys. That was an experience. Incredible. The resort was all 5 star so the food and service was non stop.
 We had cocktails on the beachfront every night.

We didn't want to come home. Headed back to Gladstone this afternoon. Had cuppa soup for tea. Back to reality.
