The Frankland Islands are a remote and unspoiled part of the Great Barrier Reef, located 45 km south of Cairns and accessible only by boat. Their untouched beauty, with crystal-clear waters, white sandy beaches, and lush rainforests, offers a sense of seclusion away from the crowds. The islands' vibrant marine life, including colorful coral reefs, turtles, and fish, makes them a haven for snorkelers and divers. Home to diverse wildlife and protected from over-commercialization, their exclusivity ensures a serene and intimate connection with nature.

We had an incredible Bluey-themed Family Fun Day last Sunday at Frankland Islands! With perfect weather, it was wonderful to see so many families enjoying the day. The kids had a blast playing keepy-uppy with the Bluey ball, and everyone got involved with the treasure hunt and colouring contest. Some lucky visitors even managed to find Nemo while snorkelling!

A heartfelt thank you to all the families who joined us and made the day so memorable. It was the perfect chance to unwind, have fun, and make lasting memories in such a stunning location!

The Tangaroa Blue Beach Cleanup on September 21st at Frankland Islands was a huge success, thanks to the incredible turnout and community effort! A key part of the day was the citizen science data collection, with volunteers recording their findings in the Australian Marine Debris Initiative (AMDI) Database. This data helps us map debris and track its origins, providing valuable insights for future cleanups.

We collected all kinds of debris, from bottle caps—sent to GSL Services for their: A Good Start to Life program for recycling—to fishing lines, which will be recycled through Tangaroa Blue’s Rig Recycle Program in Brisbane, a world-first initiative! Rope, nets, and even brightly coloured lighters and toys were set aside for artists and school projects, giving new life to what would otherwise be waste. Of course, cans, bottles, and juice boxes went towards the QLD container deposit scheme.

A massive thank you to everyone who participated in keeping our islands and oceans clean. Your efforts not only made a visible impact on our beaches but also contributed to important environmental data that helps protect our reef in the long run!
