Thank you all for your patience and continued support. Itās great to be back.
Fitzroy Island - after hiking through the rainforest, and visiting a turtle rehabilitation centre, I went snorkelling in search of my favourite animal. After a fruitless hour in the water, and feeling the cold, I was ready to give up and began to swim in to shore, when I was immediately surrounded by four green sea turtles - One for each member of my family. I stayed with them as long as my body would allow.
āthe temptation to quit will be greatest just before you are about to succeed.ā
Thank you turtles. You remain my favourite.
An island of pure magic.
