Christmas Adventure -- December 2011

by Jo Boniface

As Christmas rolled closer this year, Snorkel Safari closed its doors to allow their staff, amazing customers, family and friends the opportunity to head to Morton Island for a good ol’ Aussie Beach Christmas BBQ. We headed out on our day boat Reality 1 for our voyage to Moreton Island, with dolphins and turtles sighted along the way. First up was boom netting! There were some quick hands up from staff and customers alike to jump into the net and get dragged through the ocean, with Mig being the biggest kid of all, it was hard to get him out of there! It can definitely be said that everyone had fun on the net and if you didn’t have a go it’s a must on our next adventure (which happens to be another Aussie Beach BBQ on Australia Day).

We then headed back to the beach where everyone set up camp and hit the water again, this time for swimming and snorkelling along the beach and around the Bulwer wrecks. There was a carpet of starfish found, a lionfish, little squid and plenty of fish everywhere to see. With Dale on lunch duty everyone got plenty to eat. After lunch there was some relaxing, napping, swimming, walks into the Bulwer township, a little Frisbee action and some beach cricket cheered on by spectators.

Thanks to Dale, Eirin and Colin for the great day out and a BIG thanks to everyone that attended for making it such a fun Aussie Beach Christmas BBQ. Don’t forget we’re doing it all again on Australia Day, so get in quick and book your spots.
