For all of us Queenslanders who are fed up with awful stories about destruction of Qld ecosystems, have a look at this article and feel proud and happy - Lady Elliot Island

Some great photos of the island, the birds that have returned and the people who love living and working there.

I went here as a kid with the folks... I remember LOTS of seabirds, having a lovely time snorkelling over lovely reefs that were accessible by just walking in to the ocean from the beach and looking down, and accidentally stealing money from some other kid in the "casino" cause I was 100% confident I'd put my bet on a particular number but then afterwards wasn't so sure.... but they'd already handed it over. I still feel bad about that. I think I was wrong.

Sorry random kid in the early/mid 90s.
