Australia - Cairns


We stayed in Cairns to visit the Great Barrier Reef. The resort we stayed in was all of these small huts (nice on the inside) surrounded by lagoons and "jungle."



We visited Aboriginal cultural park learning about native culture and gave my parent a chance to try trowng a spear and boomerang. Okay, it is not as easy as it looks.


We spent a day at the Great Barrier Reef. The highlight for me was going as a small group to the edge of the reef and having a white tipped reef shark swim with me for a little bit.




White tipped reef shark. This is not the picture I took, but I do have two pictures to prove it. ;-)


The marine stingers, jellyfish, were at the beach, so no swimming.
