| Coral in the Great Barrier Reef |
The Great Barrier Reef is so amazing, I
snorkeled it twice! The first time I went to the Southern Great Barrier
Reef, out of Airlie Beach. It was really neat to see the coral. I was a
bit scared, though, because the waves were really strong out in the
ocean like that.
The second time I went, it was out of Cairns. This was
better. The water is clearer in the Northern Great Barrier Reef. My tour took us to two different places. The first was Michaelmas Cay (
http://www.cairnsattractions.com.au/michaelmas-cay.php).
This was really cool. It is another world under the sea. Very peaceful.
It is really neat to see all the fish. I saw lots of different types of
colourful fish, and the coral is so pretty! Michaelmas Cay is a bird
sanctuary, so when I put my head above water, it was like a scene from
Alfred Hitchcock's "The Birds". It was very noisy above water! The
second place the tour took us to was again, out in the middle of the
ocean. Again, I did not like swimming there, so I went for a little
while, but probably could have stayed out longer. The fish and coral
were amazing to see.
