Again got lucky and snagged the local special and got a boat ride to and from Fitzroy Island for $30.
On the island we snorkeled ($15/ all day hire), did one of their small hikes (the other was closed off for whatever reason) and proceeded to be really really cold. We got pretty unlucky with the weather and couldn't stay in the water for more than 1 hour, even with wetsuits.
Overall it was still a great day, the best part happening at the end when we decided to do the "Hidden Garden" trail. The actual trail took 10 minutes to walk but we climbed past the closed off bit and followed an old trail deeper into the rainforest. The old trail had clearly been used before, but closed off years ago for whatever reason.
Seriously don't know why, there was nothing even remotely dangerous about it, barring a few sticky mud puddles.
We found this awesome collection of rocks and spent some time climbing in and out of it - assuming different characters and behaving like 5 year olds. It was a great time.
