Australia - Cairns and The Great Barier Reef

 Next stop was Cairns and I have to say it was the town I liked best. Many years ago I had a penfriend in Australia who moved to Cairns when she got married to a doctor. Unfortunately we lost contact years ago and I can't even remember her surname so was unable to look her up. I did meet her in 1970 when she was travelling round Europe and was staying in Ealing. So Jeanette if you should happen to be reading this - get in touch!
 
 View from hotel.

Bats flying at dusk and if you enlarge the picture you will see the crescent moon - not like ours at left or right but at the bottom - looked very strange!

Birds in the zoo which is in the dome of the Casino!

 Then a trip to The Great barrier Reef  - this is the pontoon we were on for the day.
 Fishes through the window and Roy snorkelling!

 Coral from the semi-submersible. Not very easy to get a good picture.
