HONEYMOON IN PARADISE
SAY “YES” DOWN UNDER
Don’t know about you, but we are still celebrating Australia’s YES vote in favour of equal marriage. Such great news. What’s more, this means that a whole new world of wedding venues and honeymoon retreats could open up – and what could be better than getting married in the beautiful land down under? From east to west, there are countless gorgeous spots to choose from – and one we like the sound of is Pumpkin Island. A remote island nestled in the Southern Great Barrier Reef, 14 kilometres off the coast of Yeppoon in Queensland, this six hectare piece of land offers eco and climate-friendly accommodation. It can host 34 guests in seven self-catering units, powered by wind and sun, complete with private decks to enjoy the sunset. You can only reach Pumpkin Island by boat or helicopter, but once there, you’re at one with the white sandy beaches, the turquoise blue water and stunning wildlife.
