Walking in a winter wonderland – Whitsundays style
When we're not feeling energetic enough to tackle Whitsunday Peak, there's another fantastic little track we traverse from the anchorage at Cid Harbour. Strolling from Sawmill Bay to Dugong Beach (or vice versa), is a lovely way to while away an hour or so, which is about what it takes to...

For the love of Langford Island – The Whitsundays
It's places like Langford Island that really epitomise why we've stayed in the Whitsundays so long. With 74 islands on our doorstep, there's always more to explore, and some places that are just gems. Langford is one of the diamonds. Just 14 miles or an easy 2.5 hour run from our m...
Behind the scenes – what really happened on the Whitsunday Peak walk 🤣
My close friends know I like a good walk. They also know my husband Julian hates walking. Happily I have a couple of hiking buddies, but every now and again Julian gets dragged along in an attempt to maintain some sort of fitness (not to mention our marital bliss). We've somehow been climbin...
Conquering Whitsunday Peak
In his fabulous Whitsunday cruising guide "100 Magic Miles", David Colfelt describes Whitsunday Peak as one of the most challenging walks of the region's Ngaro Sea Trail. The thing is, once you've climbed the 437-metre slope, the rewards are worth it. Panoramic views of the Whi...
Ep 206 | Short Sail to Funnel Bay and Start of Airlie Beach Race Week, Sailing Nutshell, Australia

Manta Ray Bay on the north coast of Hook Island in the main Whitsunday group. is renowned for its friendly fish. Big ones. It's the place to go if you want to see George - who was also known as 'Auntie Albert' when I first sailed to the Whitsundays many years ago. The 'auntie&...
The day we had world-famous Whitehaven Beach all to ourselves
One of the more positive by-products of Covid-19 was a rare opportunity to enjoy 24 hours at world-famous Whitehaven Beach entirely alone. Well, when I say entirely alone, I mean us three humans, about a million butterflies, and one very hungry goanna. This seven-kilometre stretch of silica sand i...
Brilliant boating to Bait Reef
Living in the Whitsundays for the past 11 years, we've been lucky enough to have 74 islands right here on our doorstep. 74 islands spread across 100 magic miles of the Queensland coast. Technically these islands are part of Australia's Great Barrier Reef Marine Park, but when we think of t...

And, once again, we have problems with the engine, well the gearbox actually. After Magnus had spent hours rebuilding it, it suddenly fills with water!
