We ended our fantastic trip with a day out to the Great Barrier Reef. This has always been a bucket list item and now I can say I have done it!
We snorkeled, scuba dived and swam with an array of beautifully coloured sea life. It was so lovely to see.
However, I feel we were ten years too late to the party. The reef (especially at the pontoon we visited) didn't have a lot of colour to it, like I imagined it would have. I think a combination of the sun bleaching the reef and thousands of tourists had simply ruined it.
Don't get me wrong though, it was still a sight to behold - which I will never forget.
The Great Barrier Reef marked the end of the most amazing three and a half weeks in Oz.
Australia - you were simply the best and we will definitely be back. Maybe to live?
