Week 2: (Part 3) Dunk Island
The next day we packed our bags, grabbed our tent and headed to Dunk Island leaving the caravan at the Mission Beach Caravan Park. It is only a 10minute transfer to get onto Dunk Island and you are dropped off on a jetty right near the campground. Upon arrival we set up camp and walked to Muggy Muggy Beach for a snorkel. The beach is nice with palm trees providing shade at the back of the beach. The water was warm but visibility was low. However, there are some small pockets of coral and fish just off the beach. It was good fun having a look around before heading back to camp.
After lunch we headed back to the jetty and jumped in for a swim. It was a relaxing afternoon and evening and we enjoyed the change of pace. Unfortunately at night we were made aware that Dunk Island has a large population of Cane Toads!
The next day we packed up and went to the jetty for a swim before boarding the boat back to mainland. From here we packed up the caravan and headed for Cairns.
