PWWBVA - Part VIII


Dunk Island, off the Queensland coast

Ah lovely Dunk Island, admired by Captain Cook and by Qantas, who own a swanky resort just off the ferry. It's a grand place to get dunk in the Coral Sea, though preferably not at Muggy Muggy bay, aptly named as the water is so muggy that visibility is down to, well, pretty much your hand in front of your face.

Being a braver soul, Darren went snorkelling off Muggy Muggy. His reward was coming face to face with a fish who's photofit resembles the potato cod. One minute he was casually flapping his fins and blowing on his pipe, the next he was steaming out of the water with a facial expression matched only by those on Amity Island as Roy Schneider reached far too slowly for his loudhaler.

He later lost one of the fins. As it was hired, we had to retrace our steps until we found it. A Scandinavian man with an accent like the Muppets' Swedish chef had beaten us to it. I hope that doesn't sound racist. He really did speak like the Swedish Chef. burd burd burd.
