Quobba Point and the blow holes (May 2015)

As we are heading north the water temperature is increasing and soft corals make place for hard ones. Quobba Point is the first place where we can enjoy snorkeling between them. The water is very shallow and we see a lot of colourful fishes. We organise a “snorkel expedition” with the whole family including Opa and Oma, and Hugo on a piggy back, to an island just offshore.  We bring towels and biscuits for all to enjoy before heading back to the mainland.
Close to the snorkel beach there is a natural phenomena called the Blow Holes. This is where, if the tide is right, water gets pushed into caves by waves hitting the shore. This water then makes its way out by spraying into the air some 10 meters high.


I have a go at catching fish from the rocks while the holes blow around me. Quite the experience!
Flicky alerts us to the presence of this beauty.
