Ferry to Mayne Island

For our two night getaway to Mayne Island, we loaded the bikes on the car, and headed to the ferry.  We were on the island by noon, parked at Miners Bay, and walked out on the pier to look at the boats, disturbing many seagulls on the railings.  The Springwater Lodge is beside the wharf - it opened in 1892 and back then was full of miners on their way to the goldfields.

After lunch we got on our bikes and headed to the lighthouse on Georgina Point, on the shores of Active Pass.

We carried on, cycling back to the car via Campbell Bay; it was a lovely ride on our first afternoon, on quiet country roads.  We saw three small deer.
