It's been quite an eventful few months here on Lady Elliot Island. Ex Tropical Cyclone Alfred certainly tested our resilience! I wish to express my sincere gratitude to all our guests who demonstrated remarkable understanding and flexibility during the cyclone event. Your cooperation made a difficult situation much more manageable for our team. I'm pleased to report that outside of those challenging days, we've been blessed with truly magnificent weather conditions especially over the Easter weekend. As we transition seasons, the migratory seabirds are beginning their journey away from the island, and with cooler temperatures settling in, our revegetation project is gaining momentum. We're excited to once again welcome volunteers to join us in this important environmental work. Below the water, manta season has kicked off with numerous sightings both at the surface and around cleaning stations. Our guests have been particularly excited about encounters with a baby manta ray, which has been named Erin in honour of our Activities Supervisor who first spotted this young visitor. Adding to the underwater spectacle, several ornate eagle rays have also made appearances. In the coming weeks, our island team will be conducting necessary maintenance on the restaurant roof but they will work diligently to minimise any impact on our guest's dining experience. Thank you for your ongoing support and we look forward to welcoming you to the island soon. |
