Whale and Dolphin watching on Straddie
The weekend before we went to North Stradbroke Island. I have been in Brisbane for more than 5 years now, and had yet to make the trip. This time of the year is particularly good for whale and dolphin watching on the island.
We started off with the ferry from Cleveland, which was another first for me. I had never been on one of these ferries that take you and your car. Quite an experience!
We wandered around Shellie's old haunts, including Amity Point and Pt. Lookout and finished with lunch at what seemed like the only hotel (under massive development) on the island. I had the biggest lamb shanks I have ever seen.
The island is basic, untouched by modern development and peaceful. Here are some snaps.
