Island Head Creek – a great spot for fishing and crabbing, but
the only place on Qld coast with no sunrise or sunset: it’s surrounded by
mountains.
Our sail to
Hexham Island was fast but
exhilarating, with 15 – 20 knots SE and big seas. At one point we had half a hull out of the
water! Alas no mackerel, no seabirds nor
dolphins to amuse us along the way. I
suppose we can’t have them all the time.
Hexham is very pretty, with fruiting pandanus, hoop pines, and
grasstrees amongst the heather, where silvereyes whistled away as they popped
in and out of the heath and honeyeaters enjoyed the flowering shrubs.
