We could have been on any tropical beach in the South Pacific, except we were a one-hour ferry trip from Brisbane.
Not a bad view huh!
In the background you can see the shipwreck, the quad bike track and the front right is our balcony!
Some of the 220 steps we did up from the beach to our house. Then it was 220 down. THEY WERE TIRING!
The sunsets were just beautiful!
Watching fish at the jetty!
We had 10 dolphins come in for a feed, and two babies, just adorable.
Mum and bub were quite a hit with the tourists!
Cheeky boy who thinks he’s a big boy!
Kookaburra feeding!
Behind me is the wreck the Husband and I swam next to, we didn’t have fins and current was too strong so we didn’t attempt heading out. The crazy face is a result of having a drinkie on the beach! Our friends gave us two hours without kids, and we did the same for them, best idea ever!
Looking from Moreton Island towards Brisbane, a storm’s a brewing!
On the way home! All tuckered out!
Do you have a favourite family holiday spot? Have you been to Tangalooma?
I love Wednesdays because it’s Wordless Wednesday and I can link with Trish at My Little Drummer Boys
And the lovely Ai at Sakura Haruka
And last but not least – Bree @ Twinkle in the Eye
Have a laugh on me

Gorgeous place! Sounds like you guys had a great time. Love that last photo!! Love it when kids are completely buggered and actually SLEEP!!
April 12, 2013 at 9:40 am
They had massive tears before hand but then passed out – it was BLISS!
April 10, 2013 at 10:00 am
Em, how gorgeous is it!! Looks like your littlies had the best holiday, lots of memories. xx
April 12, 2013 at 9:40 am
And I took 450 photos – dolphins were their highlight
April 10, 2013 at 10:04 am
Ooh that is so pretty!!! I havent been on holiday with the family yet.. we are going to France in Sept/Oct 🙂 hehe
But I guess Margs River would be our favourite place!
April 12, 2013 at 9:40 am
Wow you lucky ducky you – that would be fab!
April 10, 2013 at 12:03 pm
Ooh what was it like for the little ones? We’ve been thinking of doing Tangalooma but have put it off, thinking that maybe 3 is too young… well that, and the fact that I’m angling for a Daydream Island dirty weekender instead 😉
April 12, 2013 at 9:41 am
It was okay, although youngest suitable probably 3 or 4 . They would get more out of it when they’re 5 like my oldest 🙂 But if I were you I’d go for dirty weekend for shiz, not even any question girl 🙂
April 10, 2013 at 12:22 pm
what a stunning place for a getaway! Lucky you that you stay just an hour away 🙂
Ai @ Sakura Haruka
April 12, 2013 at 9:42 am
Yes we are very fortunate to have so much greatness nearby!
April 10, 2013 at 1:32 pm
What a gorgeous spot – my kids would love to go somewhere like that!
April 12, 2013 at 9:42 am
It was busy but beautiful 🙂
April 10, 2013 at 3:12 pm
Gorgeous! Bloody hell, I need a holiday. xx
April 12, 2013 at 9:42 am
Do it Mez, so good for your sanity levels.
April 10, 2013 at 4:10 pm
I’ve never been there and it’s so close! Beautiful photos!!
April 12, 2013 at 9:43 am
If you get the chance, it’s very peaceful 🙂
April 10, 2013 at 5:05 pm
What a beautiful spot. Great photos
April 12, 2013 at 9:43 am
Thanks hun x
April 10, 2013 at 5:53 pm
Looks amazing, you’re pretty lucky, you Queenslanders!
April 12, 2013 at 9:44 am
We sure do have lots of greatness on our doorsteps!
April 10, 2013 at 7:57 pm
Oh wow! What a great spot, I can’t believe how the dolphins just come straight up like that, pretty cool 🙂 Yay for drinkies on the beach with no kids!
April 12, 2013 at 9:44 am
Those 2 hours without kids were delightful Alicia. They are wild dolphins but started coming about 30 years ago when first person who lived on island starting feeding
April 10, 2013 at 7:58 pm
Ohhhh nice! Beautiful spot and you didnt need airfares or visas – perfect xx
April 12, 2013 at 9:45 am
It was just perfect, and not a long flight when kids hassling us!
April 10, 2013 at 8:40 pm
We went camping on Moreton Island for Easter 1978 when I was in Year 7 😉 but I’ve never been to Tangalooma!
April 12, 2013 at 9:45 am
That was the year I was born Janet, and I’m not saying that to make you feel old – I promise 😉 If you get the chance it’s lovely for couples Janet x
April 10, 2013 at 9:06 pm
Looks like an awesome vacation!!
I love your happy face 😉
I wanna feel the sand between the fingers of my feet and feed those dolphins too!
Visiting you from WW. Enjoy the rest of the week.
April 12, 2013 at 9:46 am
Sand between feet, nature at your doorstep and a ship wreck to dive – just perfect.
April 10, 2013 at 10:26 pm
Far out man! Paradise much?!
My fave pic though, is the last one. Nothing like turning around to that view to realise how lucky you really are. X
April 12, 2013 at 9:47 am
Yes it’s nice to see them all asleep – my favourite time ever – I am very fortunate 🙂
April 11, 2013 at 2:22 pm
How awesome is that place! And so close! Looks amazing. I want to go for the Kookaburras alone, I love them!
April 12, 2013 at 9:47 am
It was lovely truly Ky, but best for 5 year olds and up I reckon 🙂
April 12, 2013 at 9:19 pm
Looks like great time away Em 🙂 So peaceful, bet you all loved it !
