Could our trip get any better? We hadn’t even finished unpacking from our Cape Arnhem camping trip when John and I were invited to join a group going to Banu Banu Beach Resort on Bremer Island. As both Kyran and Vanessa were working, we said we would take Tommy with us.

We met up on the boat the next morning for the hour long trip to the island. As always the weather was glorious; every day has been around 30 degrees. The trip over to Bremer Island was lovely.

Banubanu is an eco-sensitive beach retreat built in partnership with the Yolgnu people. It has pristine island swimming, beach combing, there is also a restaurant, bar and small pool. We were there for the day but I was talking to a lady who was glamping for the night with her husband for his 50th birthday, in one of the fivep huts perched on the beach.

The group we were with were celebrating Noel’s 70th birthday. Noel is Kyran’s friend’s dad who was here with his wife, Ann, from Newcastle for a month. Last year they came for a month but covid wrecked their plans and they ended up being here for six months! I heard on the news today that NSW might lock down again so they could be here for another six months! I could think of worse places to be stuck!

After a morning on the beach, we made our way to the restaurant for lunch……and a couple of cocktails.

The boat returned about 3pm to take us back to the mainland. What a great day out we had.
