With a husband feeling unwell on the day the family had booked a scenic helicopter flight to Whitehaven Beach, Sara Adams had a spare ticket and didn’t want to waste the experience.
Without a thought, she posted on the Hamilton Island Visitors Facebook group and asked if anyone would like to join her and her daughter on the adventure.
Kylie Milloy was first to respond, so her, Sara and her daughter travelled to Whitehaven together.
They were dropped at Whitehaven Beach, where they had the beach to themselves.
“It was a really cool experience, the pilot left us on the beach and there was no one in sight,” said Sara.
Kylie and Sara enjoyed a bottle of bubbles and got to know each other.
The morning also involved some relaxing on the beach and some swimming.
The three had a time day and Kylie offered to pay Sara for the experience, but she refused.
Sara believes in giving more than you take and said she didn’t even think of selling it.
“It’s a nice thing to pass on,” she said.
Later, Sara went back to the Facebook group and told the community about the experience.
“For everyone following along . . . I wasn’t a seral killer!” she said.
“We had a beautiful morning.”
