| Going
to the Great Barrier Reef |
|
| I didn't take my
long lens with me, because I thought "what's the point of a long lens out
on the open ocean?" Plenty, it turned out. I did get feeble
photos of a migrating whale with my short lens, but I entirely missed the
sea snake which was making its way along the surface of the water. |
| And here it, Kelso
Reef. The Great Barrier Reef is made up of hundreds and hundreds
of separate named sections of reef The small boats you see
in this picture are glass-bottomed boats for people who don't want to scuba,
snorkel or swim. The larger boat is a pontoon with changing
rooms and tables to sit and eat. |

| The water's crystal
clear. The tour operators rope off areas of the reef for snorkellers
to swim within, changing them periodically so the reef doesn't become damaged. |
