Lady Musgrave lagoon coral gardens
Lady Musgrave Island sits at the southern end of a large lagoon within a 1,192 ha reef; the northern side offers shallow snorkelling and coral gardens, and the lagoon has about 14 dive sites (Entrance Bommies, Manta Bommie, The Caves, Campgrounds and others with depths up to roughly 18–24 m). Day trips run from Bundaberg; the island is largely Capricornia Cays National Park. Position is a lagoon-centre estimate.
