Lady Musgrave is at the southern most end of the Great Barrier Reef and about 60 nautical miles from Bundaberg, well out of site of the mainland. It consists of a sandy coral cay surrounded by coral reef and when we were there it had quite large breaking ocean swells. We love Lady Musgrave because of its crystal clear water and fantastic snorkelling. This time we swam for over half an hour with 100 year old turtles, saw thousands of fish, our first reef shark and an incredible Manta Ray which would have been 7 - 8 feet from wing tip to wing tip - hard to describe but what a sight. At Musgrave we love to walk and explore the small cay that is covered in a Pisonia tree forest. This time we were there the day after turtle hatching and saw a very small turtle on the beach. The cay is surrounded by all types of sea creatures and we loved the star fish but equally the birds kept us amused especially what seemed like black and white versions of the same breed. What Musgrave has most, is fish and some even jump on your hook. If you ever have the opportunity to doa day trip from the town of 1770 / Seventeen Seventy - Jump at it!!
