Art by Rebecca Jane

Artist | Drink bottles, Puzzles, Mats, Coasters and more | Hervey Bay

Art by Rebecca Jane was formed in 2014 based out of a single market stall at the Urangan Pier Markets. Today, ABRJ is stocked in over 20 retail outlets up and down the east coast and are some of our best-selling products on Lady Elliot Island! There is so much detail in each of Rebecca’s artworks, they are sure to keep your eyes busy for hours.

Explore the diverse range of coral shapes and colours at Coral Gardens. Located on the Western side of the island, you will find a snorkelling line here for guests to guide themselves with, and during our prevailing South- Easterly winds this area is protected and calm for snorkelling. Often sighted in this area are an abundance of fish, turtles, reef sharks and occasionally eagle rays and our cheeky local dolphin!
