Cape Capricorn and Great Keppel Island






After a week at the outer reef we sailed back towards the mainland, crossing the Tropic of Capricorn as we headed for the tiny bay at the base of Cape Capricorn. Lying on the beach looking at Erica, the only boat in the bay, made it feel like ours. After a swim we walked up the cliffs to find a great park bench for us to just sit and rest. Once at the top, we met Shaunie the caretaker of the Cape Cap Lighthouse cottages and enjoyed the spectacular view, with the ocean clearly visible on all three sides of the cape. From Cape Cap we sailed to Great Keppel, the resort island (resort now closed) a beautiful spot with palm fringed beach and crystal clear waters.
