Great Barrier Reef



Back from our trip to the Great Barrier Reef and exhausted! Quite a difficult crossing particularly going out; strong winds and heavy seas. We were fine but lots of people suffered from seasickness. The attached picture is not of me but it could well have been except I was wearing a stinger suit in a rather fetching shade of blue. Really good experience and the reef is fascinating with countless species of corals and fish; which were all around us. As well as the snorkelling they has a semi submersible which gave an excellent view of the fish, turtles and corals.
Weather has not been great and we have hardly seen the sun whilst in the islands. A severe tropical storm is forecast for Saturday with up to 30cm of rain in one day. Luckily we will be in Brisbane by then.
