Pat and Katie came up for a holiday and I organised for us to go to Tangalooma on Moreton Island. Joanne came too.

 

We set off from Scarborough on Friday 7th and the weather was bleak and miserable - this was the 4th day of rain and it was not letting up.  However the weather forecast said it would get better.

 

Ploughing thru the rough seas on the Combie Trader was not pleasant. We had a taxi meet us at the barge landing point which proved to be a real bonus as we then had a very experienced local show is the roads to the resort - some of the creek crossings were quite hairy.

 

We arrived at the resort and found our villa - things were looking up!!! We just had to wait for the rain to stop. We were all pretty seedy from the trip on the barge and not real interested in much else than settling down a bit.

 

Saturday morning we arose to beautiful clear skies and sun beaming down on us so Jo and I set off to the jetty to meet Evan who had come over on the Tangalooma Flyer.  The day was beautiful and the water was clean and clear.  We booked to go Quad bike riding and chased up whale watching. However there was no whale watching available when we wanted it. Most of the paid activities were $58 each so quite reasonable.

 

The afternoon saw all 7 of us head off on Quad bikes for 1 hour tour - we had fun but the boys found it a bit tame as we had to follow single file and do what we were told.

 

Sunday was another glorious day and after Jo left we set off for Parasailing - Katie and I went up in a tandem and Ev and Carly had a single one each. It was amasing - John just went for a ride in the boat. It was a lovely hour on the water. Evan did some headstands which saw him dunked head first in the water (photos coming).

 

Pat and Katie headed home Sunday nite finding the place a bit tame for their liking but Evan, Carly John and I stayed till Monday and had a nice smooth trip home.

 

All up I can highly recommend Tangalooma Resort and have a contact for some good deals on the private villas.
