Lady Elliot IX — 3 October

Finally, a few last looks at Lady Elliot. We had some time for a morning snorkel on the day of our departure. Then, it was back aboard three small aircraft for the short flight to Hervey Bay (some planes saw whales and dugongs playing below), then the bus ride back to Brisbane.
