Island Hopping Through the Southern Whitsundays

Most of the time, it's just the two of us aboard Te Tāiko, but as we continue sailing north along Queensland coast, we're enjoying some company. Brian, Adam's dad, has joined us aboard, and we've been buddy boating with our friends Megan and Al aboard SV Vela. In this episode, we explore the southern Whitsunday Islands, beginning with Brampton Island, where we discover the remains of an abandoned island resort, walk through native forest, encounter some of Australia's wildlife and enjoy beautiful views across the surrounding islands. From Brampton, we continue sailing north to Thomas island and Cid Harbour on Whitsunday Island, experiencing both the beauty and the occasional discomfort of life at anchor. It's been lovely having family aboard and sharing some of our cruising experiences with friends as we explore this beautiful part of Queensland. A special thank you to Megan and Al for generously sharing their drone footage with us. Their aerial views of Brampton Island and the surrounding waters have added something special to this episode. As always, thanks for watching. Sincere thanks to Charlotte Rockstar Jones for composing and recording Te Tāiko's theme song.
