The Island

Today we walked to, and hiked up, the little islands offshore from Seaforth.  Spectacular views!!

From the mainland, there is a long dirt track, passable at low tide.  The track leads to the first island, which is rocky but easy enough to walk around. 

Then, another low-tide track leads to a second island, which has a goat-track leading to the top of its hill and offers amazing views of the Whitsundays and the mainland.

Talk about island-hopping!

Here is the island which we will be walking up:

You can vaguely see the little goat track leading up up up.

But first, you must walk around the first island to get to the track leading onto the second (which is in the distance of the below photo). 




We start our ascent...


The view is truly spectacular - the first island is in the middle of the photo, and the small line of beach to the isalnd's right is our starting point.
