Set out in your boat to your secluded camp site with expansive views of the Glass House Mountains. You'll find a relatively protected anchorage with access to great fishing in Pumicestone Passage.
Try your luck at reeling in a flathead, bream, whiting, tailor or mangrove jack in the passage or explore its sheltered waters by canoe or kayak. If you're lucky you may spot a dugong grazing on seagrass beds.
Stroll along the water's edge at low tide to see migratory shorebirds refueling here during summer before their April departure. You'll also see birds of prey, such as ospreys, sea eagles, and brahminy and whistling kites all year round.
