Dunk Island really lived up to the perfect tropical paradise with blue skies and a warmth in the air.
The resort at Dunk Island is currently closed, it is rumoured to have been sold to an overseas byer fro $30M, but they are keeping facilities on the island working including picnic areas, toilets, showers and running water.
We took a walk along the island past the sealed runway (built by Qantas but currently not in use) and the resort to the other end of the island, Some of the buildings have been restored to house the workers taking care of the resort and others are still as they were when they were damaged by the cyclone.
The "Dunk Island butterfly" pool is back to full working order.
Reached the end of the island which looks north towards Cairns
Really good to see Sonia finally enjoying a tropical holiday
In the late afternoon we went ashore for drinks and made used our skills to make grated coconut which one of the expert cooks used to make coconut milk and coconut cream. Pity no one could catch a fish to make coconut curry.
And of course you cannot finish a blog from a tropical island without ABS
