Fitzroy Island 19th-20th

Fiztroy Island is about a 50min ferry ride from Cairns – it is a small coral sand island that is mostly national park. It was originally only used by a lighthouse keeper until the lighthouse was moved to a smaller nearby island. In 1981 a resort was opened on the island but was closed in the last few years. We went over to camp the night and discovered that a new resort was due to open in about 10days – looks pretty spiffy! Fitzroy island was very quiet and pretty – we spent time bushwalking, beach sitting and water trampoline bouncing!
