Dunk Island - Blogabond

Dunk Island is just off the coast of Mission Beach and you get to it by boat. We took the 'shortest hop' one from Wongaling Beach, which as well as being the closest was also quite nippy (fast). You have to pay to use the resort's facilities and since you are limited to the butterfly pool rather than the more scenic cacades pool did seem a bit steep (we sneaked in the cascades pool anyway!). We spotted some beautiful butterflies and lots of tiny lizards on the short walk to the cafe, with the heat and humidity short walks are all you can manage!The expense however is quickly recovered when you eat - we went to the Jetty Cafe (a bit like a posh chippie) and discovered that we could have 2 main courses (special offer/deal?) so we had loads to eat and didn't need to have tea at the end of the day - The Barramundi Spring Rolls and Tempura Calamari were excellent.We returned home at 3.30 and dived straight in the pool again! As we were going to be out all the next day on the dive boat we had a chill out for the rest of the day.

Shaun then spent ages on the phone to Nanny and Grandad sorting out their computer - even when you go to the other side of the world he can't escape work!!!!!
