Flinders Island
The most recent addition to my island list….once again the benefits of living on an island just shine through. One of the leading populations in Australia during this pandemic. The community came together and offered vaccinations to everyone over 16, they are now 80% vaccinated, before the rest of the country has even hit 20%. There are over 120 beaches on Flinders Island to explore, and some wonderful accommodation choices, from budget to very high end. My favourite way of getting there is from mainland Tasmania at Bridport. Flinders Island Aviation offer 30 minute flights to Lady Barron airstrip for $165 each way. Everyone has a window seat, and if you are REALLY lucky, like I was, you get to sit next to the pilot.
