Day 11

We collected the boys after their last night of billeting and headed off to catch a boat we had chartered to take us to Moreton Bay.
Unfortunately en route we had a phone call to tell us that our boat had engineering problems and could no longer take us. Thankfully our rep, Lloyd, was super efficient and had arranged for a ferry trip to the same destination (we have been very impressed with how he has looked after us this tour). The new plan meant that would have the opportunity to feed some wild dolphins as well as the snorkelling that we were expecting.

On arrival at the Island, we collected our flippers and snorkel equipment and made our way towards the wrecks. There was plenty of fish and fortunately no sharks (that we saw), some boys did see a ray, though.

We then spent a few hours playing volleyball, touch rugby and various other ball games in the sand until sunset. It was then time to feed the dolphins which was an amazing experience. There is a group of about ten wild Dolphins that return to beach every evening. We were able to wade into the water with them and they took small fish out of our hands. Incredible!



 Sorry about this last picture, we were not allowed to use a flash with the dolphins so they didn't come out very well.
