 |  Heron Island is a true coral-cay with bright blue waters and a coral reef at your door step. The island is a national park and a nature mecca! In just 3 days, we saw an incredible amount of wildlife - lots of birds, manta rays, mother turtles laying eggs and hatchlings racing to the sea, beautiful tropical fishies and harmless baby shovelnose sharks. |
 100 000 squawking noddy terns nest in Heron's trees before migrating to Siberia! |
 Looking for clams, starfish and sea cucumbers on a reef walk. |
 You can walk around the whole island in less than an hour. |
 Sigh...How can I get more time off to play? |
 If only we had the funds to stay longer! |
 Please....Can we move here? |
 The unicornfish. |
 Who painted this coral purple? |
 The stunning clown trigger fish. |
