Yesterday we went on a boat trip to three of the Whitsunday Islands. The first stop was at Hook Island where we went on a semi-submersible boat to view the marine life but as it went the water was at high tide so we did see that much. We also snokelled amongst the fish as they were being feed, I (Charlotte) was a bit nervous of the fish around me and also managed to crash into the fish feeder's boat. The coral wasn't as good as our other trip but Whitehaven beach...

Hi from Airlie Beach, Managed to get away from Townsville finally and we stopped off at Bowen for a night on our way to Airlie Beach. Bowen had very nice beaches and coves and we ended up stayed at a camp site at Horseshoe bay for one night. Now at Airlie beach the weather is great and like Cairns there is a logoon swimming pool which we went in yesterday. Just been to a morning market on the Esplande and bought some little fairy cakes and some half prive sa...

In the blazing sunshine we decided to go on a walk which we thought led to a nearby bay, ...

The highlight of this fine Saturday was Adam swimming in the freezing cold waterfull, I have never seen h...

We were up very early this morning for our trip of a life time to the Great Barrier Reef. The 25 metre catamaran we were on left Cairns at 8am this morning heading for the Great Barrier Reef. Our first stop was in deep water on the Outer part of the Barrier Reef. We had to swim to the reef from the boat to go and explore the coral. The water was choppey and rough and I (Charlotte) had to get out and go on the glass bottom boat instead as I couldn't get comfo...
