We have been thoroughly spoilt by the beautiful Horseshoe and Murray Bays in Bowen.

We spent quite a few hours in these two beautiful spots snorkelling. Apparently Bowen is one of only two spots in Queensland where the Great barrier Reef meets the land. We saw fish of all colours, shapes and sizes and the most amazing coral – blues, greens, browns, whites – big and small, some shaped like the folds of a sharpe dog, some which were identical to chocolate rice bubble biscuits and some like trees. Also saw a couple of stingray basking on the floor of the sea, which we left in peace!!! I had an amazing 3 days in the sea, despite being a little careless with the sun (didn’t realise my bum stuck out of the sea so much!!!!!)

We also enjoyed the ruggedness of the landscape – the rock formations were amazing and we went for a couple of walks over them – up to a WWII Radar station 850m up on a rocky outcrop overlooking the bays – you can see why it was such a good spot. I have no idea how the rocks got to be there but some look so precariously balanced it appears as though a giant hand has just carefully placed them there.
