Our Cabin on Lady Elliot Island opened directly to the beach and surrounding coral lagoon.
If we had expended our "quiet contemplation" budget, we could walk across the Island in about 20 minutes. On the way there were all manner of sea birds. Many nested on the ground and tended to ignore people as they were no threat.
The Island was once mined for guano and consequently denuded of vegetation. Once the re-forestation program started the quaint old lighthouse was no longer high enough and a newer, less picturesque structure was erected.
On our final evening, the Island Chef produced a magnificent cake for Rhondda's birthday that we celebrated in a private room.
The following day we flew back to Coolangatta and the weather was so bad we had to fly around storms for 30 min before we could land.
