| I'm on a boat. |
The main purpose of Fitzroy Island is the camping and resort accomodation, but the rest of the island is available to day visitors too. The first stop was at one of their acclaimed beaches after a short hike through the forest. I don't own any thongs or similar footwear so I had to walk barefoot on this beach that was full of rocks and coral I think - it was too sharp whatever it was.

Had some lunch on the beach but the jellyfish take over the water from October to May - basically the whole year then - so unless you have a stinger suit or even a wet suit you risk getting stung. Apparently the jellyfish weren't as common out this far from the coast, but I didn't really care to find out. It would have been to have a go at snorkeling otherwise.
After heading back to the resort they had this glass bottom boat leaving that goes around the island and visits some coral reef. The coral wasn't as colourful as I expected and the glass wasn't very clean either - maybe somebody could order them in some more glass.
Next was a big hike for the afternoon up to the top of the island. The route was ridiculously steep, it was really tricky coming back down since my shoes didn't have much grip left. On the way up I almost tripped over this big lizard just hanging out beside the path, it didn't seem to be concerned with people. Finally made it to the top despite the lack of signs, for a view of not much.
