Dear Dave,

Thank you for a most enjoyable day last Thursday.  It was a most fantastic day and so much fun.  As it has been years and years since I have been to  Stradbroke Island it certainly was an eye opener.  On the ferry coming over to meet you we talked about the Miramar and Mirvina coming to Amity Point – boy what a difference.

It was wonderful visiting the different accommodation places and seeing what a variety there is.  The Gorge Walk was great and the water so clear. 

Of course what can we say about Lunch on the beach we were so lucky that the weather was kind to us and we were able to just relax and enjoy such good food.

Please thank Darryl for me as he was most kind in helping us “oldies” in and out of the  4WD and so patient while our legs came back to normal.

(I was the one at the very back who locked the door all the time!!!!)  It was good also hearing Darryl’s life on the Island.

Once again many thanks for such a wonderful day.  Cannot wait to come back.

Sincerely

Mary Grant

Award winning article by Alison from the Brisbane Information Centre in the Queen Street Mall. She wrote: Of course you are feeling a bit peckish after all that exercise, but Dave has this well in hand. How about a beach barbecue with the casuarinas and the rolling ocean as your backdrop? Dave is so keen on having you relax, he refuses all offers of help, except for the passing around of the delicious snags and salads. Dave's customised tours can be booked at Straddie Kingfisher Tours.
Now you are feeling truly relaxed away from the workaday world, but it is time to exercise the brain cells as well as the body, with some local history. The Stradbroke Island Historical society, run by enthusiastic volunteers, has prepared heritage trails for Point Lookout, Amity Point, and Dunwich. Whilst in Dunwich go for an historic walk around taking in the cemetery. Stradbroke has a sad history of institutions, and over 8,000 of their inhabitants are buried in the picturesque grounds.
This cemetery in Queensland's second oldest cemetery and dates back to 15 September 1850.
