Holidays - Moreton Island

My boyfriend and his father have an addiction - treasure hunting.  They won't see anyone about this 'gold fever' which is sometimes a good thing - because I score some pretty sweet trips out of their obsession.  Today's blog entry is about our trip to Moreton Island!

We caught the car ferry from Brisbane Harbour to Tangalooma Resort.  It's a great place, bit of trivia: one of the Scooby Doo films was filmed on the island!  All the places to stay are right on the beach, so it's literally like a 1 minute walk straight onto sand, wonderful! And of course you can always see the beautiful sunrise/sunset from your balcony.

Moreton Island is also home to a lovely lake called Blue Lagoon.  We had great success with the metal detectors there, I even found my first ring!  A lovely little silver ring with possibly a diamond in it - Very exciting!

But the coolest part was getting to feed the dolphins that come to feed every night at Tangalooma.  Our dolphin 'Echo' was really gentle and it was lovely to see them up close like that!
