Island idyll
Monday, December 31, 2007
We've just returned from a fabulous 3 day adventure on beautiful Three Hummock Island. The island is just off the coast of North Western Tasmania. It is only really accessible by air so we chartered a small 6-seater plane from a Melbourne airport and flew down over Bass Strait. An hour later we landed on the island's airstrip and were picked up by the island's caretakers.
We enjoyed 3 days of swimming, boating, walking and sleeping. It was divine. If I was a better descriptive writer I could express to you how perfect this place is. As I'm not, I'll let my photos tell the story.
The island's only inhabitants are the caretakers - two students of Environmental Management from WA. It's quite a wonderful feeling to know that there is no-one else around and that you have the many beautiful beaches all to yourself. It's truly good for the soul. What a great way to see out 2007.
Happy New Year everyone!
