Clownfish Club Equipment Rental

I found out the other day that the Clownfish Club, the Hamilton Island childcare centre, runs an equipment hire service on top of their usual day care and babysitting jobs.

Bubbles on Bommie Deck

To celebrate the beautiful weather (I love winter in the Whitsundays) and a return visit by a recently departed friend (can’t keep away), the girls decided to join up for a drink at the Bommie Deck and watch the sunset.
