A couple of weeks ago friends of ours got married on Heron Island, I'm so glad we went. The wedding was lovely and the island is an amazing place. Heron Island is part of the Great Barrier Reef, it's a 1 hour plane journey and a 2 hour boat ride from Brisbane.
Heron Island famous for turtles- between October and December each year, Green and Loggerhead turtles head up the beach to dig their nests in the sand dunes and lay their eggs. Only 1 in 1000 eggs ever makes it to adulthood to reproduce themselves (how sad!).

The diving and snorkelling are fantastic, visability well over 20m, and you can pretty much see everything right from the beach! Shark Bay really lives up to it's name.
Snorkelling we saw too many sharks and rays to count!
