Left the hot, dust, fly infested, Outback behind.
Flew into the Great Barrier Area. Tropical, Florida like, in the summer. Hot and humid. Lot different then the hot, dry desert air back in Ayer's Rock and Alice springs. Yesterday, we went out on the reef on a snorkeling, scuba, glass bottom boat adventure. Rode out about 25 miles on a fun catamoran (sp?). Docked at a permanent station out on the outer reef area. Then you got to do everything you wanted to do for 4 1/2 hours. It was cloudy and rainy so didn't have to worry about the sun burn. Saw wonder coral, fish, turtles, clams, etc. No shark and no jelly fish. Yea. Drove up to Port Douglas this AM. going to the Daintree rain forest in 2 days. Rivers of crocs! snakes? Oh no!!
It is all guided. Swiimming in blue pools and hopefully, safe! Should be wonderful. then on Friday, back on another reef boat for the day of snorkleing again. Love it out there. Hopefully, we can load our underwater photos we took and hopefully, you can see them. Little clouldy under water because of all the flooding they have had lately. Later from the almost finished travelers. More thumbnails ...
