Camping on Moreton Island (part 1)

18°C water temperature and clear blue water. Swimming and free diving with rays, box and many more fish was a nice experience - a little cold, though!


Two days on Moreton Island: A beautiful experience! With the 'MICAT' from Brisbane Port to the western beach. The second largest sand island in the world. No roads, only sand paths and beaches. Heath land and forests, ginormous dunes. Blue sea and red fresh-water lakes. Amazing wildlife. Whales, sharks, sea eagles and snakes..

Right after sunrise: A Coastal Carpet Python (Morelia spilota mcdowelii) of about 2 m length is looking for a shelter. In this picture, Jasmin has not yet realized that the snake is approaching her in order to grab a nice breakfast.

The Carpet Snake again. I risked my life to keep it away from Jasmin.

Dolphins (probably Bottlenose Dolphins) as seen from the coast. Plenty of Humpbacks were also around but not close enough to get a good shot with my small Nikon P7000.

Old wrecks off the beach. A nice place for snorkeling.

Tracks in the sand at the 'Blue Lagoon'. What was it? Maybe a small Wallaby?
