Great Keppel Island

Nick and I just got back from Great Keppel Island and had a great time!  Great Keppel Island is located just a half hour ferry ride from Yeppoon which is a 2 hour car ride north from Gladstone.  We stayed in a tent at Svenson's Beach.  Here are some pictures of our campsite:
Lyndie picked us up from the ferry on the other side of the island and brought us to our campsite by boat.
Everything was beautiful.  It reminded me of Gilligan's Island.  This is the shower room with shell door knob.
A bag shower, luckily you could get hot water!
A little water station to retrieve water for cooking and showering.
Our tent equipped with a queen bed!

Lyndie and Carl were good host and took us on an adventure to a sea cave.  Carl also brought out his telescope one night and we could see the full moon in great detail.  Aside from the few run ins with Lyndie and Carl, we did not see another person the entire time we were there.  Our own private island!
This was the only downside...this spider is as large as my hand.



View from the kitchen
Sloppy Joes and baked beans just seemed like a good camping meal.






A bright full moon made night walks easy.

Outdoor kitchen with fridge and stove.


Spider limbo!
