In October 2015 we took a trip to Cairns, on the Great Barrier Reef, Our intention was to snorkel on the reef from a Cairns based boat, the Reef Encounter, and then from a Port Douglas based boat, the Wavelength. Mainly because of its strong orientation toward scuba diving, snorkelling from the Reef Encounter did not live up to our expectations, but the Wavelength experience was simply amazing. For the trip we bought a Nikon Coolpix S33 underwater camera. This is at the "low" end of the Nikon line but, at our age, we are not likely to be making much more use of underwater cameras. Our trip finished with an outing on the Kuranda Scenic Railway, which is a very pleasant day out and, while in Kuranda, we visited the Australian Butterfly Sanctuary, also a pleasant experience. |
