November 2022, Coral Geographer

“The deeply-weathered limestone ridge of Bob’s Nose loomed overhead. Our progress was watched by an Osprey mum, ensconced in her nest atop a nearby sea stack. With the Woolford brothers leading the way we made landfall and explored the vivid granite headland.” – Guest Lecturer Quentin Chester

Kangaroo, Wild Islands and Walks of South Australia

Wild Islands of South Australia

December 2021, Coral Adventurer

“We spent some time in the beautiful paper-bark forest along the edge of the waters and attracted a group of Superb Fairy-wrens who displayed and sang all around us – an excellent opportunity to discuss the intricate mating system of these enigmatic Australian birds. We then took the scenic path along the dune tops to the lookout on the top of the dune rise, with panoramic views of the estuary and Coral Adventurer in the bay.”

February 2021, Coral Adventurer

“Every Coral Expeditions departure day is exciting but this one was extra-special. After 10 months tied up in Cairns the Coral Adventurer was – at last – back doing what she does best. Not just that, but Coral Expeditions was venturing into South Australian waters for the first time on a voyage to the state’s wild islands and remote shores.” – Guest Lecturer Quentin Chester
