Another lot of great scenery, thanls. As you say the Bruce Highway will never be finished but it keeps a lot of people employed.

Hi Bruce, it was exactly the road we needed and there were so many great stop offs en route. But there were a lot of road works and the staff work in searing heat. Best, Peg.

It is our pleasure S Comti. We feel blessed to be able to travel after a lifetime of working. We are very glad you are enjoying them. We are trying a slightly different approach in NZ and have just released a video on that. It would be great to hear your feedback. Best, Peg

Hi Phil, I hope you are keeping warm back home… part of our planning was to avoid a winter for a year. I’m sure winter 2023 will hit us hard! 😀⛄️😀

a few years ago 2 snorkelers were left behind and never seen again. head counts and safety is now top level.

Hi Paul, I agree safety must come first. It is hard to get the balance right between keeping a whole load of novices safe and ensuring they can enjoy the coral reef. Best, Peg

They are quite unbelievable Cathy. The sand is so pure it doesn’t get too hot either so you can walk in bare feet without ooch-ouching your way to the sea! Xxx

I believe a couple of American tourists were accidentally left behind on one of these swimming trips some years ago and drowned before their absence was noticed. Probably why the people running the excursion were so keen to keep an eye on everyone.

Hi Greg, that is very sad and I agree that safety needs to come first. It was such a shame that we were trying to avoid bumping into other snorkelers. It was a very different experience from snorkelling at the Low Isles. Best, Peg.

Did you see eagles on that road. I remember there always being one overhead, they were evenly spaced.

Hi Mike, I don’t think we did. I am always on the lookout for birds and love birds of prey. I went last March to the Isle of Mull on a wildlife trip to see white tailed eagles… majestic creatures. I was very excited. Do you know what type of eagles they are? I will look out for them next time. Best, Peg

@@pegandrobsgameforadventure - Hi Peg. Wedgetail eagles, they are a dark brown. Along the coast you might see sea eagles, they have white heads and bellies and brown uppers and wings. Sometime you see wedgetails on road kill by the side of the road, which is always amazing. They are big birds. I remember evenly spaced, high-circling eagles on a journey from Airlie Beach to Rockhampton. As one receded behind towards the horizon another came up ahead. They must have been tens of kilometres apart. I suppose they had learned to watch the roads.

yeah sadly, due to so many deaths by tourists on the reef etc (people who literally can't swim and paddle away and drown, or get left behind!), they now keep everyone under control /close by.

I completely understand safety must come first. It is not an experience I would repeat though. I think we were spoiled by snorkelling at the low isles were we saw lots and had more freedom as we were going in from the island. The visibility was fantastic that day too ….so I wrongly thought I might see something on the next trip. It was still a great day out though.
