Flight to Murray Island

 
We arose early Saturday morning to catch the ferry over to Horn Island for a 7am flight to Murray.  Of course being on "aisland time" the flight left about 0730 on a quite smallish light plane.  But we made it.  The weather was not particularly clear so the photos are a little foggy. 


There are so many tiny uninhabited islands with the most spectacular coral reefs around them that stretch out encircling the tiny little amount of land in comparison.  The colour of the water over the coral reefs is so amazing.  It looks a bit like glazed pottery.

Flying over the top and then onto Murray Island.


Murray Island is quite mountainous as the reminants of a volcano.  It is also surrounded by coral reef.
