    A trip down the Daintree River in the hope of seeing wild crocodiles, but the best we got a a baby croc sitting on a branch, the biggies were nowhere to be seen.

  • Where the Jungle Meets the Coral

    May 16, 2019 in Australia ⋅ ☁️ 26 °C

    We finally arrived at our northern most point of the trip, where the rain forest meets the coral, Cape Tribulation.

    Coming out of the rain forest, in the rain, out on to the beach, to see the point of land Captain Cook spotted whilst stranded out to sea.Read more

  • Swimming in the Great Barrier Reef

    May 17, 2019, Great Barrier Reef ⋅ ⛅ 26 °C

    Our final day could not have been spent in a better place. A major bucket-list tick-off. The Great Barrier Reef.

    The trip out was a bumpy ride, with many of the passengers getting sea sick, but at the end of the ride we ended up out in the middle of the sea, with no land to be seen. All around us only sea and reef.

    We took a trip around the reed in a submerged, glass-bottomed boat, then got in the water ourselves, swimming around the reef amongst the many fish.

    The trip back, we stood together on the top-deck of the Catamaran, looking at the approaching coast-line, with the mountains and rain-forest beyond, knowing this was the last day and it would be awhile before we got to see these sights again.
