WHALE SEASON IS HERE!

We love this time of the year when the humpback whales visit Lady Elliot Island on their annual migration. This youngster was captured near Lighhouse Bommies in quite shallow water.

Make sure that you keep an eye out for the whales during the scenic flight to/from Lady Elliot Island. If you’re lucky you might also see them from the glass bottom boat, kayak or while diving or snorkelling. You may even hear the beautiful whale song underwater.

OUTBACK ADVENTURE TOURS 

Our sister company Seair will be launching several tours to visit Lake Eyre and Birdsville in August and September this year. The Outback Adventure tour will take guests over three days to see some of the most isolated parts of the country by aircraft. Rainfall throughout south-western earlier this year has flowed down the Diamantina and into Lake Eyre, bringing life to a normally barren area. Spring is wildflower season, and this combined with the water flows can bring extensive bird-life and other animals to the region. Contact the team at Seair on 07 5599 4509 or visit http://seairpacific.com.au/touring for more information.

WATER STRAIGHT FROM THE SUN!

Lady Elliot Island Eco Resort is very excited to have been chosen as a demonstration site for the SOURCE Hydropanels manufactured by Zero Mass Water.  Zero Mass Water has designed a Hydropanel that only needs sunlight and air to make safe, delicious drinking water.  

Already committed to renewable energy by generating over 80% of power from the hybrid solar power station, the Resort was very excited to install this ground breaking new technology. The project received funding from the Australian Renewable Energy Agency (ARENA) as part of ARENA’s Advancing Renewables Program.
