This island is truly incredible, koala hanging out on a palm tree in our backyard!

Human impact on our local reefs? What can we do to improve? I live in such a beautiful place, Magnetic Island. We have some incredible fringing reefs and the region has recently become an ‘eco destination’. Being the owner of a dive shop here, this is incredible for the region. But what a cop out! How can we be regarded as an eco destination when the dredging that is conducted and the area that the spoil is dumped causes such damage to our local reefs! The ports have been shown the figures, they have been shown where to dump there spoil that would be better for our local reefs, yet they choose not to change, not to act. In my opinion you can’t sell your cake and eat it to! Do you want to be an eco destination or do you want to focus on the ports and the big ships you can allow to enter? You can’t have both. You are destroying locally one of the natural wonders of the world! I’ve been told you can’t go to the papers because they aren’t allowed to publish anything that goes against there agenda? Wtf? Rant over…. #portoftownsville improve, get real and maybe do something! Only together can we make change 🌊🤿🤙 #saveourreefs #magneticisland #townsvillenorthqueensland

When we slow down, we give ourselves more chance to appreciate the reef. Tiny leaf scorpionfish are one of our favourite finds! #resurfacedive #breathediveconnect #holisticdiving #liveunfiltered #bluemind #justbreathe #scubadive #ScubaTherapy #bepresent #inthemoment #unwindunderwater #ConnectWithTheOcean #lovethereef #portdouglas #portdouglasdaintree #exploreTNQ #thisisqueensland #seeaustralia #seacreatures #leafyscorpionfish
