The Franklin Group of islands

The Franklin Group is beautiful, with interesting walks around Normanby Island, then the very cute little Mabel Island and Russell Island with granite and rainforest at the southern end and a long sandy section of casuarinas, palms and ferns to the north. We were lucky to pick up a mooring at Russell Island as it’s difficult to anchor there in 15 – 20 metres.
