Onward to the biggest appeal of OZ (in my opinion) - the Great Barrier Reef!!
I flew to Cairns from Brisbane and it was an unbelievable sight, seeing the underwater reef from high in the sky! Sorry but the photos just don't do it justice!
so peaceful up here...
Cairns Esplanade
My Virago is following me!

Many things in OZ are like things in the US... but slightly "off"

Time for me to visit the Great Barrier Reef herself
My liveaboard dive boat (2 days, 1 night)
For many reasons, but mainly overcrowdedness and unattentive staff, I don't recommend this company at all...
Turtle turtle...
Shark!
Wrasse!
Shark frenzy - a memory i couldn't capture with a camera but like many, will never forget!
Night Diving! my favorite
See? unattentive staff ;)
Day 1 was seasick misery
Day 2 was make-the-most-of it by starting with a beautiful sunrise
By the end of the live-aboard trip I had completed 7 dives in 2 days. It was intense, but I'm glad I did it. I would not go with this company and I wouldn't recommend it to people whose happiness I care about. But I also don't regret it. After this I am in need of some TLC!
omgg!! shark week just ended here... i was thinking about this... <3
