The absolute must-do reason for visiting Cairns is to take a trip out to the Great Barrier Reef.

We visited the outer reef on Reef Magic, a floating pontoon, which enabled us to snorkel, take a glass bottomed boat and semi-submersible tour.

Not surprisingly the coral and marine were spectacular and unbelievably close to the pontoon. In particular, a Maori Wrasse (called Wally) wouldn't leave the snorkellers alone. An absolutely fantastic day.

A few photos below - more to come (when our waterproof camera is developed).
