Whitsunday Islands

We are in the Coral Sea in the midst of the Great Barrier Reef. The Whitsunday Islands were named by Captain Cook because he thought it was Whitsunday--actually it was Saturday but no one has renamed them. They have been made into a nature preserve so the economy is almost completely tourism. In June the humpback whales arrive to deliver their calves and stay about 6 months before returning to Antartica.もっと詳しく
