RV TRAVEL
Those into camping, photography and general lazing about will thrive on Curtis Island. The varied wildlife – we saw amazing spiders and webs, crabs, horses and dog / dingo footprints, to name a few – will have you snapping off rolls of film, filling memory cards, or maybe even flapping a few polaroids in excitement over a scene worthy of hanging on the lounge-room walls.
MARK’ S WISE WORDS
Curtis Island may not be in the middle of nowhere, with it only being roughly an hour’ s ferry ride from the mainland, but it is remote with few facilities. It’ s not a huge Island, but it can take quite some time to traverse from end to end.
Take your time, enjoy the sights, and learn all about its natural beauty, along with the surprisingly large-scale industry that pipes coal seam gas to the island and turns it into liquified natural gas for export.
I guess these things must happen somewhere, but it seems crazy that parts of this unique island have been handed over for these purposes.
