Day 143 Cairns to Lowe Isles


The Lowe Isles consists of a series of small uninhabited islands. This protected environment is home to white sandy beaches, spectacular corals, birds and giant sea turtles. The reef around Low Isles comprises of 150 species of hard corals and is dominated by 15 species of soft corals. Living amongst the corals in the blue lagoon are a large variety of reef fish including angelfish, damselfish, anemones, giant trevally, sweetlip, fusiliers and many green turtles are sighted daily. Everyone we meet loved this spot but we were not impressed. Too may tourists and the beach was not as impressive as we were led to believe. Perhaps we have raised the standard from all of the other beautiful islands we have been too!
