LADY ELLIOT ISLAND is a 100-acre coral cay on and is the
southernmost island in the Great
Barrier Reef. It lies just within the southern boundary of the designated
World Heritage area. After taking a 5am bus from Brisbane north up the coast
to Hervey Bay, we boarded 15 seat planes for the 40 minute flight to
Lady Elliot Island. Lady Elliot is the only cay on the Reef that has an "airport".
You can see that the strip runs the entire length of the island.... and you use
all of it for both landings and take-offs.
