The Great Barrier Reef

The Great Barrier Reef... At Last!

When we decided to take on this journey we said that we would leave the Great Barrier Reef for last. If you are unsure of what this amazing place click on the following link which will bring you to an amazing video on the National Geographic's Website: Great Barrier Reef. This was because we wanted to save the tropical side of Australia for last!

Underwater Bubbles

I had the opportunity to dive in and explore the bottom of the sea at another level. I had a great time snorkelling and swimming with the most colourful fish and coral around me.

Unfortunately the day we decided to go the sun was not shinning as bright as it could. The told us that we would have gotten better pictures had the sun been out all day. However, through this pictures you can still get a feel for what the reef is like. 

I mentioned in my last blog that if you do not have an underwater camera you should purchase one before you to the Great Barrier Reef. HOWEVER! Jen and I did not, but we were still able to rent a camera for around $40.00 for the whole day!
