We spent a few days at Fitzroy on a mooring with a very small beach to ourselves. We could go to the new resort for cappuccino and did so on a couple of occasions. We headed out early one morning for a trip to the light house, which really got the pulse rates up and gave us graet views of the surrounds. After a few days we left Fitzroy and headed over to Turtle Bay on the mainland. What a great surprise. A terrific sandy beach that stretched for miles. Creeks running to the beach at a few spots and great fresh water swimming holes. We were anchored in pretty close and out of the swell, so thought this spot was definitely worth a couple of days. We even found a pre lit camp fire on the beach, so headed out to the boat and prepared a damper for sundowners. As usual at this time of year we had the place to ourselves.
