Great Keppel Island










This weekend, Danny and I took a day cruise to Great Keppel Island. We got to ride on a glass bottomed boat over some coral. Then we snorkeled for a couple of hours on the reef, there were some cool fish, and lots of them. They fed us lunch, then we got to ride on a boom net, which is basically just a net they hang off the back of the boat. That night, there were carols by the beach, with a lot of people there, kids running around having a good time, we watched for a while, then went and ate dinner. It was nice to hear some Christmas Carols! They don't really play any on the radio. On our way home, there was a large snake in the road next to our apartment, I would say about 3 feet long! We almost ran it over, but instead backed up and took pictures and watched it crawl off the road. Thankfully, it was crawling away from our apartment.

Looks like a good time. Did you figure out what kind of snake it was? Poisonous or not? Do you know what kind of fish you saw?

Love, MOM

We live about 30 minutes east of Rockhampton, but we go there to go to the movies and do some shopping quite often! Did you figure out what the sea creature was in our other photo?
