Hideaway Is

Went snorkling on Hideaway Is one day which is a little coral island 30 mins out of town.  Its famous for the underwater post box and water proof post cards - so we had to do that, pretty good service arrived 1.5wks later.  

The kids really enjoyed being dropped off at the edge of the reef with a noodle for support to snorkel back following the colourful coral and amazing variety of fish.  The guide with us dived down to pick up a cushion star fish which looked like someone had inflated with a bike pump!

Hollander got the hang of clearing her snorkel so excitedly dived down to tickle some clown fish darting in and out of a sea anemone - Nemo like.

Here it comes

The pontoon near the under water post office 50 m's off shore and 1m under water.

The coral beach was hard to walk on

The abundant fish!
