The land of the flying fish and sandy white beaches and the home of rum. A Bajan holiday involves rum cocktails, relaxation, leisure and snorkelling with turtles. Barbados is the birthplace of Rihanna. Chattels are small moveable wooden houses which are closely tied to the island's heritage. In olden days when these houses were purchased they could be moved from one property to another hence they were constructed on blocks which made them easier to move. The best mode of transport is via the local reggae buses!

Heron Island is a coral cay located near the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern Great Barrier Reef, 80 kilometres north-east of Gladstone, Queensland, Australia, and 460 km north-north-west of the state capital Brisbane. Green and loggerhead turtles have chosen Heron as their nesting place from February to March, when female turtles can be seen laying their eggs whilst hatchlings continue to emerge from their nests. From June to July migrating humpback whales can be spotted from the beach, and the dense pisonia forests are home to thousands of curious noddy terns.
