Mentone Beach – Port Phillip Bay
Spent a long weekend in Melbourne, staying at the Crowne Plaza in the city. I’ve been trying to find ways to get more exercise lately and have settled on walking as an option I can probably maintain. Starting from Carrum Beach (below), I walked along beach paths and tracks then back to my car and onto the next beach, ending up at Mentone (above). This beach brought back a vivid memory from when I was about 13 years old.. I remember my friend and his mum taking us here on a 40 degree+ summer day.. it was definitely this beach because I can remember the distinctive rock. (More info and Pics)
Henning Island – Whitsundays
We hired a small boat from the marina on Hamilton Island and motored out to Henning Island, which took around half an hour as we were pushing against the incoming tide. On the way we saw both dolphins and a large sea turtle. Unfortunately just as we approached the island the steering rod snapped, which resulted in us being stranded on the island for 3 hours. The rental company was very good though, they eventually replaced our boat and doubled our rental time for free. There are definitely worse places to be stuck as well…. More Pics
Catseye Bay Beach, Hamilton Island
Spent the Australia Day long weekend on Hamilton Island, and from what I hear, managed to escape the rain that hit the rest of the east coast, from Sydney all the way up to Cairns. We had a near perfect day.. snorkelling, swimming and catamaraning off the beach. If anything, I wish it had been a bit windier, as sailing would have been more fun… More Pics..
South Mission Beach – Nth Qld
We left Mission Beach after 2 nights and travelled towards Townsville to catch a 3pm flight back to Sydney. On the way we stopped at South Mission Beach, which is around 5kms from the main Mission Beach.
There was a lot of damage done to this area when a cyclone hit in February, with nearby Dunk Island bearing the brunt. More Pics
The Esplanade – Cairns, Qld
I flew up to Cairns to stay for a couple of days before a planned trip to Mission Beach further south. I stayed at the Shang-ri la hotel, which is right on the water.
As you can see from above pictures, Cairns doesn’t really have a beach.. its more of a swampy, mudflat visited by the odd crocodile. There are some nice beaches a bit further north, but they require effort and action to get to.. which can be hard to muster in the tropical heat. Cairns Council solution to this was to build their own beach, complete with swimming pool and sand. More Pics
Newcastle Beaches – NSW
Went up to Newcastle to get my new tyres rotated, ended up needing to get my brakes looked at and by the time that was done I couldn’t be bothered driving back to Sydney so I booked into the Crowne Plaza on the Esplanade.
The next morning I went for a walk along the boardwalk, then down to Nobbys Beach (above).
Adventure Bay – Bruny Island, Tas
After lunch at the Neck, we drove down to Adventure Bay where the storm had just passed by. Adventure Bay is an interesting place… they run a seal watching cruise from here to the south of the island which looks like fun… you would want to pick your day though. The place itself is pretty quiet.. we ended up a small cafe where we had a coffee.
