Great day away of Brisbane. We spent a great day at the island. Saw whales, koalas and kangaroos. Had about 1 hour for sunbathing at the ocean beach. The food was nice.

This was an extremely well designed and pleasant trip, moving us between a variety of great spots on the island and including a nice balance of activity and relaxing. Brian has some good information on the area and kept up with the youngsters well- he even dropped us by our hotel!
