Williams Family Queensland Adventures

In Queensland we had a lot of firsts for our family. We fed dolphins, snorkeled on the Great Barrier Reef and went up in a small airplane for a tour of Fraser Island. All experiences that will stay with us and inspire us to do even more. Once again I fell in love with this beautiful country and its marine life.

Our first stop on the journey up the coast was a little place called Tin Can Bay. We just pulled the caravan into a park for the night and in talking to the owner found out that every morning at the towns jetty/dock area there was a dolphin feeding. So the next morning we ventured down there and joined a bunch of tourists wading in the water and taking pictures of these magnificent creatures. This particular morning there were two dolphins there named Mystique and Harmony. The kids each got a fish to feed the dolphins. Check out the story of these dolphins here




What intelligent animals. Next summer might find us heading to Marineland though I don't know if anything would top this experience.

How about you? Done anything new lately?

As always, more to come

Jianna is vehemently declaring that she is NOT jealous.

What great experiences! RV get-a-ways are the very best, aren't they? It's funny to see an RV with the door on the wrong side! I've never considered that before!
