So Cairn's is a little bohemian....
... we were approached by a lady who offered us a free dinner from the BBQ. We were a little suspicious so we thanked the lady but didn’t go over and then took bets on why the woman was giving out free food and Geoff won, all about God! The lady kindly said that we didn’t have to talk about God to get free food but if we did she was more than happy to accommodate.

Great Barrier Reef
... These tours cost about $165. My tour started at 8 AM and took at least 2 hours to get to the snorkel spots and 2 hours to get back. The names on the spots were Paradise Reef and Miachaelma's Cay.
