28/03 Hippie hippie shake



I leave Cairns amidst sporadic showers and I am disappointed that I didn’t get to snorkel the GBR but there might be an opportunity to do some snorkelling in the DR when I visit Ig and family. If not, then there are always plenty of other reefs in the world to look at!

B & B pick me up at Brisbane airport and I am whisked off to Maleny which is about an hour and a half’s drive North West of Bris Vegas (as the locals call it).

Maleny is a lovely little ‘hippie’ hamlet situated amongst rolling hills and farm land and most of the countryside reminds me of England. B & B live in a house overlooking the Glass House Mountains and the view from the house is quite spectacular. It is nice to have my own room, bathroom and a home cooked meal (a Sunday roast with all the trimmings: sweet, mate!)

  1. Yes, you can snorkel here, but the reefs aren't the best in the Caribbean and nothing comparable to the GBR. What might be interesting is a reef restoration programme run right here in Punta Cana. Think I finally worked out the comments thing although they will appear as signed by Chiri when it should say Ig.
