Let´s go to Heron Island! :)

---

To get to Heron Island we firstly had to take the plane back to Bundaberg, where our car was waiting for us. Then we drove up to Gladstone to change our way of transportation once again. Heron Island does not have an airstrip where you can land a plane, like Lady Elliot, but there is still several ways you can get out to the island. Booking our room we got the boat ride back from the island for free, for two of us. We decided that we would use the saved money on taking a helicopter to get to the island. I for one had never been in a helicopter before and I am afraid of heights, but it was still worth it. It was a really beautiful view of the reef and totally worth feeling a bit queasy throughout. We flew from the Helireef terminal over the Wistari Reef and landed on Heron Island. Sadly the flight was just 30 minutes long. The rest of the day we spent on settling in and relaxing for a bit.
