G'day hive,
Lady Elliott island off the coast of Bundaberg in Queensland Australia is the most southern part of the a great Barrier reef.
The best way to get to Lady Elliott is by light plane.
After we spent a day snorkeling on the island it was time to fly back to He inrvey bay.
As we left the island it was low tide so it was amazing to see the island from above and to see just how much the tide changes compared to high tide.
So much of the surrounding reef was exposed. It doubled the size of the island at lowtide.
This is my entry to @bucipuci Around the world challenge number 27/5

For some reason I thought the tide would be high on one side while it's low on the other. When an island's that small though, you can see the tide rises everywhere at once.
You could anchor a pontoon on a long chain, with a deck chair and umbrella. Walk down at low tide with a rod and bait, and fish until the next low tide, then walk back with your haul.
I was snorkeling as the tide started to go out. The water was pushing through the reef so strong! At one point I started to panic a little as it started a rip in the water.
So many fish where jumping out of the water that got caught up in the smaller reef pockets to try and get into deeper water as the tide was going out.
A pontoon would be a great idea for fishing but the island is a green zone so no fishing allowed unfortunately.
For a long time, people have made tidal fish traps. They tend to follow walls; so get trapped in a love heart shape.
Very cool and calm place. It seems to be a small and portable Island. I can count the number of houses there😊
It's such a beautiful island!
And yes it's definitely a small island 😁 there are 3 main houses where the care takers live then on the other side of the island is eco cabins so you can stay there. Some of the best snorkeling I have ever done!
Oh, so well, it is more of a tourist and recreational place.
You have got me googling Lady Elliot island options. They are expensive but look like worth saving up for! The package from Frazer looks fantastic too

Yeah it's not cheap but it's totally worth it. Some of the best snorkeling I have ever done!
They had a 2 night stay deal for turtle nesting season that we jumped on. That way we will get the most out of snorkeling the lagoon. And might get to see a Mantaray 🤞🤞
2 weeks to go until we will be back there!! The count down is on!
