Embarking on an exciting kayaking adventure, David Thomas, a local environmentalist, discovers the hidden gem of Big Woody Island in the Great Sandy Strait. 🛶🐬
While most tourists overlook this second-largest island off Hervey Bay's coast, David finds it a perfect paddling destination. Navigating calm seas at dawn, he explores historic lighthouses, encounters Australian Humpbacked Dolphins, and witnesses the island's rich indigenous history.
This solo journey becomes a testament to the spirit of adventure, proving that age is no barrier to exploring the wonders of nature.
Check out David’s full recount on page 16 in the July issue of AFLOAT | www.afloat.com.au
