Brian finishes up with KPMG Cairns on Friday, and returns to the Wollongong office on Monday, so we are trying to make the most of our final days in tropical northern Queensland! <br><br>Last weekend was jam packed!

... enough for a liveaboard, but definitely much smaller than the SSD boat we had in the Similian Islands in Thailand. We were so spoiled by the conditions, the aquatic life and the boat we were on in the Similan Islands that we found ourselves constantly comparing diving in the Barrier Reef to our experience on the Similans.
