Today we took the two hour launch to Heron Island from Gladstone harbour having had two nights in Tannum Sands. It was an awesome sight as we cruised towards the island. In fact, it really was just like arriving in paradise! Very beautiful indeed.
We were met at the jetty with the other arrivals and taken to a room in the resort and given a quick talk about 'island life'. Amongst other things we were told that there were earplugs in each room as the mutton birds (which really do sound like a crying baby!!) were nesting and were very likely to disturb our sleep. We were also told that the island is a national park and that we weren't allowed to take shells off the beach as souvenirs!
