Honeymoon or Not?
| Day 26 | During Day 26 of
episode 10, Honeymoon or Not? Jerri Manthey and Colby Donaldduck took a
helicopter ride piloted by Craig from the Barramundi Camp to Cairns,
Australia. From there they boarded a boat which took them to Russell island
on the Great Barrier Reef.
Not to be confused with Russell Island (Moreton Bay) in Redland City, which is southeast of Brisbane. |

'Russell Island', 29 miles southeast of Cairns. What a great name for a Survivor location.
Part of the Frankland Islands National Park Group From a website called Highbeam Business, ie Tina's bikini top. Queensland Premier, The Honarable Anna Bligh visited the island 29 January 2009. She may have been thinking of Russell Hantz during her visit. |
