We got up early and boarded the plane for Gladstone. The plane was late and we were worried about missing the boat to the island. But we needn't have worried. The boat waits for all the morning planes since the only place the boat goes is to Heron Island.
The island was fabulous. Only 40 acres in size, you can walk around it in about 45 minutes. We went and signed up for scuba dives the next day and explored the island. The rooms have no keys because there is no need for them. The only people on the island are the staff and the vacationers.
