It's post-coital remorse and wistfulness at its most poignant...

The Geraldton-based Abrolhos Island Tours operates half-day chartered floatplane trips to this tropical archipelago of 122 islands, costing about $85 per person. Each excursion starts on the picturesque East Wallabi Island for a walk along the pristine sands of Turtle Bay and includes a snorkeling expedition and light refreshments. The underwater scenery is breathtaking, and it's not unusual to see lobsters walking across the reef...
