Since with F we did the Ocean Spray trip, with Stan we also went out to the Great Barrier Reef, but more economically we took a morning ferry to Fitzroy Island. It was amazing. If there is one day I would like to remember it is the day we went there. The island isn't far from Cairns and the trip is very enjoyable. When you arrive you can go and hire snorkel gear or canoes, or whatever you want from the dive shop. They make you sign several documents to say whatever happens to you, it's your fault and not theirs, and if you damage any equipment you will pay for it. Having done that you are free to go wherever you want and nobody is going to come and save you if you do something stupid. So we had a fantastic time and saw marvellous coral and fish - even schools of small fish, and many brightly coloured single fish, and I saw a small ray on the bottom but I disturbed it.

It is exactly like this.

| We were going to walk on the rainforest path but it was slow going and we had already walked in lots of forests, so we stuck to the coast. |
