Murphy


While in the beautiful city of Bundaberg we managed to meet up with a lepricorn who was selling cheap bikes, we were tricked out of our $45 and had the handle bars, brakes and rear wheel fall off within the first 10km, luckly being able to use a hammer and a shifter we were able to get Murphy up and running in a safe enough manner. We now have wheels on the boat, combined with a piece of rope and a skateboard we can now travel around on land in style and with speed. This picture is of Murphy strapped to the back of the Frog on the way out of the Burnett river. From here it was a 60mn sail to a coral cay called Lady Musgrave. It is one of only a few cays with a navigatable lagoon, which meant that at low tide we had full protection from the swell (at high tide it was like being anchored in the middle of the ocean, an amazing anchorage and a fantastic first taste of the reef, we stayed for a few days before deciding that we should head further north...
