Let the adventure commence…

The adventure starts here…its been a long time coming and the last six weeks have been a real taster of what the next six months hold in terms of media coverage and press attention.

What they haven’t given me though is an understanding of the Islands of the Great Barrier Reef and the experiences they hold for me. The anticipation and excitement are building and tomorrow I finally head out to my new residence at the Blue Pearl on Hamilton Island to commence my role as the Island Caretaker.
