Dinner date 🌹 My first date with Terry 🐢went rather swimmingly. I didn’t mind him chewing on rocks and chewing with his mouth open, and he didn’t mind me looking like a black pudding in my wetsuit. I’d definitely go back for a second date but is it wrong to say I’m not sure I’d recognise him?? 😳🤣 . .

Sunset ritual 🌅 One of the joys of @ladyelliotislandecoresort is heading to the beach to watch the sun go down and the birds come in from a hard day at sea. As the sun starts to drop towards the horizon the birds start congregating, getting lower as the sun does. Eventually the sun drops and huge flocks of them come in to roost and squawk for a while before settling in for the night. I like to think they’re trading gossip and catching up on who caught the biggest fish that day. . . . . . #ladyelliottisland #greatbarrierreef #southerngreatbarrierreef #seeaustralia #thisisqueensland #australia #queensland #canonaustralia #canon70d #escapesnaps

Above and Below 🙌🏻 @ladyelliotislandecoresort is set on a beautiful coral cay which means there’s something lovely to look at whether you’re head up relaxing on the beach or head down in the water. No wonder the fish and turtles love it here! . .

It’s Turtle Tuesday 🐢 ! And I finally have a turtle shot I can share, although having just spend some time in LEI, I have more than a few turtle shots and I probably won’t leave them for Tuesday’s 🙊🙈. The turtles were so amazingly chilled, they barely noticed me drifting along beside them. Also notice the reef underneath the turtle, so healthy and loaded with coral, no wonder the turtles love it there! Make like this guy - take a breath and dive into the rest of the week ! . . . . #turtle #goproanz #hero7black #underwaterphotography #polarpro #halfhalf #captureperfection #underwaterimages #paradise #TLpicks #escapesnaps #earthcapture #natgeotravelpic #bbctravel #Iamatraveler #bestplacestogo #travelawesome #seeaustralia #thisisqueensland

And exhale 🌬 This was our reverse sunset view over the lagoon on LEI. So calm and still and although the clouds didn’t really light up, the colour on the horizon reflecting in the water was balm for the soul. Plus everyone else was on the other side of the island so I had the entire beach to myself! . . . . . #ladyelliotisland #greatbarrierreef #seeaustralia #australia #thisisqueensland #queensland #loveyouqueensland #canonaustralia #canon70D #serenity

Callum? Callum Murray? Lady Elliot Island isn’t all about the turtles and Manta Rays although that is what most people know it for. In fact, we sadly didn’t see many Mantas at all even though we were in peak season but that didn’t stop us from enjoying encounters with the smaller reef inhabitants. We came across a school of squid flying along, flashing different colours at us. It was absolutely fascinating to see and we watched on as they circled around us. Oh, and Callum Murray - Calamari ( that might only make sense to Australians!) . . . . . . #squid #seeaustralia #thisisqueensland #goproanz #hero7black #underwaterphotography #reef #australia #ladyeillotisland #escapesnaps #nature #wildlife #snorkelling #gbr #greatbarrierreef

Turtle selfie 🐢🤳 I’d be taking selfies too if I looked this cool underwater! I’ve just spent 4 days on Lady Elliot Island on the Great Barrier Reef - so, so many turtles which was such a joy to see. The coral is also out of this world and so many fishies, big ones!! Snorkel spam to follow this week! Check out my story in the next 24 hours to see my very brave shark video 🙄🤣. . . . #goproanz #underwaterphotography #escapesnaps #turtle #ladyelliotisland #greatbarrierreef #seeaustralia #thisisqueensland #australia #queensland #reef #wildlife #nature #natgeotravelpic #natgeowild #iamatraveler #tlpicks

I’m getting my fishy freak on! 🐠 I’ll most likely be offline for the next 5 days as I commune with the fishes and hopefully a 💩tonne of Manta Rays at Lady Elliot Island! Wooo! It’s long been on my bucket list and I’m so excited to be finally going! This video was taken in Bora Bora on @goproanz Hero 7 Black - how clear is it?!?? . . . . #goproanz #hero7black #snorkeling #underwaterimages #captureperfection #borabora #lovetahiti #iamatraveler #escapesnaps #openmyworld #tlpicks #travelawesome

Help this little fella grow up. Did you know that over the last 25 years the wild lion population of Africa has dropped by 50%? Yes, it’s halved. Organisations like @pantheracats are helping African governments manage their populations of wild lions and other big cats so future generations can have the thrill of seeing these magnificent creatures in the wild, and not behind bars. Today is #worldlionday , let’s keep the conservation conversation going. . . . . #wildlion #lionconservation #bigcats #africanwildlife #wildlife #lion #africanature #bbcwild #natgeotravelpic
