The Great Barrier Reef is a fantastic place, everyone should see it once.
The tides were up and there was a fair bit of sediment in the water, but the sun was out, so there was some great snorkelling to be had
We decided to do a trip for our one year anniversary, sudden low lying clouds came over at the last minute which ruined part of the morning. Snorkelling is always better when it is clear.
The story of the trip was my confession to Claire that I wasn’t going to drink as I tended to get seasick in any sort of chop. She thought this was hilarious and proceeded to jump up and down next to me on the nets. Pretty soon, Claire was very seasick and I was trying hard not to laugh.
Not trying that hard though.
Fraser Island is a magical place. 4 of piled into a Prado and drove from Mackay down, some serious km but totally worth it. We were there for March, was a bit overcast but mostly great. Swam in all the usual places, got to do some fun 4WDing, was one of the first camping trips that Claire and I did together. Traveling with four in the car is great fun, always able to give the driver a rest, had some good chat.

Stuck my camera in a lake and took a snap… worked pretty well!
