Whitehaven - a photo on Flickriver

Whitehaven

            Does anyone else have thousands of photos sitting on their computer's hard disk that have never seen the light of day? I've been cleaning up my archives and thought I might let one out every now & again. They are great for bringing back memories. Thanks for indulging me strolling down memory lane.

This was taken from Hill Inlet looking over the unbelievable paradise that is Whitehaven Beach in the Whitsunday Islands, Queensland. The water is really that amazing colour and the silica sand so incredibly white & fine. Google Hill Inlet Whitehaven & your screen will fill images like this one. Impossible to take a bad photo there!  And yes, it's the same place as the pic that has been my profile background all this time. 

This was on a daytrip out from a cruise with couple of dozen friends for a mate's 50th & brings back lots of fun memories :)) This day of being jolted along on an ocean raft travelling at knots while hungover. And hundreds of fish swimming between your legs in the shallows at Whitehaven trying to get breadcrumbs you have thrown in to try and get some underwater pics with your GoPro. And the amazing snorkelling. Okay I'm stopping now, need to book a cruise to Whitehaven ;)

Happy Humpday!
