November 9 - 10: Snorkelling at Cats Eye Beach in clear blue water just above the coral…

…with a range of coloured fish, stingrays and turtles. Buffet breakfast with dragonfruit and granola and other healthy and less healthy options). A bit more work on the laptop from the balcony. Rainbow birthday cake, taking care not to feed the cockatoos, who will tear apart the room, given the chance. Then back on the ferry to the mainland. It’s been a fun four days.

Charging:

The most common vehicle on Hamilton Island is the electric buggy (golf cart). There are charge points every where, so you can typically plug in while charged. It’s EV utopia! I wish they’d make the other vehicles also be electric. The minibuses gas out the waiting passengers while loading.

Meanwhile, our Tesla has been fully charged on the mainland while waiting with Whitsunday Parking & Storage. Ready to start our return journey back south, starting with Mackay and Rockhampton.
