The Horn Island Jetty - relaxing before the big journey eastTravelling to Darnley Island
Horn Island Airport
Horn Island Wilderness
The jewels of the Torres Straits were on show today. We could not stop taking photos and staring out the window. It would have to be the best flight I have ever had.
The reefs and islands of the Torres Straits
The views of the communities along the way was fascinating. You can't help but wonder what it would be like to live so far away from the mainland, where there is nothing to worry about except the tides and fishing. We loved flying over Stephen Island where the reefs extend for miles. You can only get to Stephen island by Helicopter. they must need computer workshops. See our online Albums for more pics.

The journey out to Darnley Island on Monday was amazing. It was so fine and clear and the weather was perfect for flying. It was a photographers delight.
We started out at Horn Island after a frantic repack. Will the pilot, our new best friend began a week long adventure with us for the first part of the BIA Program travel. He was very patient with our need to photograph.

Horn Island AirportThe views of Horn island were rather neat. The island is quite large and next visit we will have to go and do the cache. It was at the opposite end of the island to where we were. Horn has a good collection of vegetation diversity in one small place.

Reefs off Stephen Island
The reward was the arrival at Darnley Island
This is the best way to have a retirement I tell you. Better go - work to do.
