Great Barrier Reef

 A few months ago, in a poster competition, Joshua won a family ticket to Green Island and the Barrier Reef. We took an 1hr 15 minute Catamaran out to the island, where we had the day to explore, swim and snorkel before coming home. We also had a trip on a glass bottomed boat.
Here are a few pictures:

I can't help thinking that God did a great job when he created far north Queensland. Yesterday we ventured north onto one of the most beautiful coastlines in the world. If this is earth with all its faults and imperfections think what heaven's going to be like! I only took 197 photos! Don't worry I will only post a few here.
These photos show a few shots of the coast road driving North out of Cairns. We ended up in Port Douglas about 1 hour north and then stopped off at one of the beaches on the way home.
