DUNK ISLAND, GREAT BARRIER REEF


A GREAT bush run, 10km round this wonderful island- Dunk Island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia. A bush circuit of 10 km, flat for 1.5km then 2km uphill to the observation post at 3.5km at 240m elevation, (according to my Garmin), then downhill to Coconut Beach and past the airstrip back to the pier. Great trail run, lots of leaves underfoot so you have to avoid tripping over the odd root- lift your feet! This qualifies as a Top 10 run in my book. Toasty, about 27degs C at 1030, not too humid, about 60%. Slow because of the uphill and tricky trail. Great resort where you can chill out after, or just "dunk" yourself in the ocean.
