Dunk Island




We flew on a 12 person plane to Dunk Island. Dunk Island is one of the many islands in the Great Barrier Reef. They are all unique in terms of human visitation and habitation. Dunk is an island with a resort on about 1/20th of it and the rest of it is untouched National Forest. We arrived on a sunny day and enjoyed some time on the beach the second day but then never saw the sun again until we got back to Newcastle. Not only did we not see the sun but it rained curtains the whole time we were there. And this was their dry season.




They had a kids club which absolutely made the trip for Gabe and Jordan. When they weren’t in the camp, we played a lot of monopoly and cards, read books and made sure to get ourselves out on the covered squash and tennis courts once a day.







It was relaxing, I’ll give it that. But by the third day of non-stop rain, we were all whinging. And poor Jordan got really sick again with a high fever. She stayed in bed most of the last two days.


So that was Dunk Island. I don’t think I have much more to say about it than that. I’m sure it is pretty when the sun shines.
