EC Australia 2013

The past few days we have been traveling across the beautiful Moreton Island.  When we first walked off the ferry I was amazed at how vast the beaches were and the clear blue water that surrounded the entrie island.  Our tour guides were young and extremely active which made the trip even more exciting! The first thing we did was set up camp and then prepare for snorkeling along the ship wrecks.  This was only my second time snorkeling and the first time i've ever put on a wet suit before so I personally was stirring with excitment waiting to get out into the water.  Once we got out into the deeper water we all traveled in a group and we were able to see many marine life.  We saw all sorts of types of fish, a sea turtle and even a small shark! it was an experience that i will never forget. 
      As the day carried on we were met with adventures right and left.  After snorkeling we went sand boarding on what to me looked like massive sand dunes.  I have never heard of sand boarding or seen anyone do it so to me it was something new and adventurous. I was at first a little scared but soon i was walking back up the hill over and over again waiting to go for another run.  Once we were done with sand boarding we went swimming and headed back to camp.  To top the day off, at sunset we were driving along the sandy road along the ocean and saw wild dolphins off in the distance.  Kylee slammed on the breaks and we all ran out into the water chasing after them in hopes to swim with them.  This experience was incredible.  The whole concept that we were only a few feet away from wild dolphins makes me smile every time i think about it. Seeing as this was only the first day i knew that night that these next two days were gonna bring more amazing experiences. 
      Looking back at those three days overall while on Moreton island I can honesly say that i learned an immense amount and took part in incredible adventures that i will remember for the rest of my life. Honestly, how many people can say that they spent three days on the third largest sand island in Australia!
