Traveller Magazine remarks on the spectacular beauty and intrigue of Lizard Island, that once wasn’t an island at all. Writer Catherine Marshall illustrates the history of the Great Barrier Reef and the First Nations Dingaal people as she shares insights from a recent stay at the luxury lodge.
“Just look at the view!” I scribble in a sweaty hand. And what a view it is. From here the Great Barrier Reef billows in every direction, like a radiantly twirling ball-gown; its pattern is a puzzle of malachite reefs enclosed in collars of neon blue. If I’d arrived 10,000 years earlier, there’d be no water within view at all. Instead, the hillock on which I’m standing would slope gently eastwards before slipping 20 kilometres yonder into the Coral Sea. Behind me, waves of grass and dunes would be rolling all the way to the south-western mainland.” – Catherine Marshall, Traveller Magazine.
