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.
