Scuba diving on the Great Barrier Reef! February 2009.

Flew into Cairnes and dove the Great Barrier Reef with the entire family for one week. Would highly recommend the TULSA dive boat if you have time to dive/snorkel.

Got some underwater shots...

We just spent three glorious days diving on the Great Barrier Reef, living aboard the Reef Encounter. John had planned to take his Open water course, but a cold he had picked up scuttled those plans so he went snorkling instead. Lydia and I had a bonanza of diving - we did ten dives in our three da…

As usual 6am start, a quick breakfast and out on the dive. The first dive was a pinnacle (Pixie Pinnacle) and again because it's a vertical thing probably not so appropriate for snorkelling but I just didn't care. With permission from Kylie I jumped back in the water – I’ve got the snorkelling …

On a recent trip to Australia, I had an amazing opprotunity to stay in some great places, eat soe wonderful food and make some great friends. Here are some of the highlights.

A friend and I went to Australia and New Zealand during the summer vacation. In Australia, we've been to Brisban, Cairns, Gold Coast, Sydney, Canberra...

So I probably didn't do Australia right and go to the most talked about spots or beaches but I did have a blast. And shouldn't that be the determining factor of a good trip? I think so.

Day two of our stay in Cairns started off in a hurry.  After a wonderfully filling breakfast sans vegemite at the hotel, we sprinted off to the wharf and boarded the Big Cat, our catamaran sailing vessel that would whisk us off to Green Island in just an hour.  Green Island is …

Viaje a Australia en Abril de 2007. Se divide en tres partes. La primera 5 días en Alice Spring, la segunda 5 días en Port Douglas y la tercera un recorrido en coche desde Brisbane a Melbourne pasando por Sydney.

Memories from my travels up the Gold Coast, from Sydney to Cairns/Daintree Rain forrest

....or more, or less! 7 months through New Zealand, Australia, Thailand and India.

Started out in Melbourne, then on to Adelaide, Kangaroo Island, Sydney, Diving, and Brisbane

With one of my best mates, I'm heading north for a wedding in Cairns over the October long weekend. Rather than just flying straight up and back, we figured we'd make the most of it by turning it into a 5 day weekend :)
