TURTLE NEST ON MORETON ISLAND SURF BEACH

Yesterday, I was lucky enough to travel with sunrover tours, to Moreton Island National park,
A 4WD Adventure day out. We first sailed out of the mouth of the Brisbane river passes Moreton Bay Islands across Moreton Bay Marine Park.Ray our guide took time to spot a school of dolphins, a few tuna fish,and a small sea turtle.We arrived at Moreton Island's famous west coast shipwrecks. The 3 level ferry allowed for great photo's. We landed on the west coast of Moreton Island National and a Sandy Beach – the world's second largest sand island. Our guide for the day Ray, told us stories through out the day, nature and wildlife everywhere. the group was great, we first started with a 4WD to the desert, pass beautiful wildflowers and birdlife to remote sand hills. Ray again help with all the equipment. Great hike to the sandhills. Take a sand hill at speed or try a gentle slop (speeds up to 65kms an hour). This area is great for walks and hikes, as the trail always with fresh sands. After this adventure head to the eastern surf beach of Moreton Island. Onto Blue Lagoon, a short coastal forest walk to the sand filtered fresh waters We had time to relax, swim, photo, snorkel. AFter a great lunch with cold drinks and fresh breads and fruits.
We  were 4WDiving along the surf beach, when Ray Showed us the Turtle Nest, It was great to see nature still surving.
Great tour, great guides,
