For more than half the years I have lived I’ve looked out to the east from the seaside town of Edithburgh to see the lighthouse of Troubridge Island on the horizon.

Being a diver I had never given much thought to it as being a destination. If I was into photographing seabirds maybe things would have been different as this is a designated wildlife sanctuary.

You can hire out the island and stay there if you like. You’ll be ferried out and left in isolated peace until your nominated departure date. No way on or off unless you have your own boat! Sounds blissful to me.

Last weekend I finally got to see Troubridge Island from this new and wonderful perspective.
