From One of our days off from work, in exchange for a little function we had to do for the boss he took us to Cape Tribulation which is where Captain Cook wrecked his boat on the outer reef there!! Its bascially where the rainforest meets the sea!! Its quite a cool little peninsula!! We worked on a function there serving drinks to some ridiculously rich spanish people!! They had a stream down at the function which had about 4 tortoises living in!! and they we e...

We had a day off work and went out to the reef, the weather was perfect nice and sunny and hot and the water calm!! We went to the Agincourt reef system right on the outer reef and my got was it good! We decided to hire wetsuits as we wanted to stay in the water for ages, however it was'nt exactly cold!!

Here we went to another penguin reserve, this time for the Blue Penguin, quite cool, they come out of the water roughly an hour after dusk, and this time thankfully we did see them! And lots of them, and they're so tiny, they only way around 1kg!! Very small! Was quite funny because these penguins are alot more social and less tim...
