Lady Elliot is a shining light on the GBR in terms of power production and I’ll be lucky enough to visit there later in the year, solar power and battery storage were recently installed for total self sufficient running. Most of the islands, if they don’t have their own sewage plants, take the grey waste to the mainland for further processing. Ben

Hi Ben,
We have just returned for four fantastic days at beautiful Heron Island. I read that you have been visiting the GBR islands’ desalination plants and waste-water treatment plants on your travels. Which island do you think is the most ecologically sustainable? Do any of the islands use biogas digesters or other renewable power sources?

Can’t believe you didn’t upload my excellent photo of the blur as you ran past me to the finish line!

Woah that race profile looks pretty hectic although what’s 29km compared to the Comrades - well done on entering and completing it without much training!!
