Fed pelicans with stinky sardines.


Jamie Oliver tells us catches a crab with dead mullet fish.

A walk in the mangroves.


Whale-watching! We saw quite a few, and they keep 'waving' at us by slapping their pectoral fins on the water. Sze wing likes her ponytail.


Snorkelling at Wavebreak Island. Quite traumatic, it was so freezing cold even before we stepped into the water, the wind was really strong. Huddled around shivering in the boat, while we waited for our turn as the rest swam in the frigid waters. We did see some fish, but it was so murky and cold you couldnt really see anything.

Green Island jetty.


Snorkelling at the Great Barrier Reef! Water is incredibly clear, you could see all the way to the bottom. We didnt know we were going to snorkel there at first. The GBR was a million times better than Wavebreak. There were hundreds of fish, too many kinds to count, of different sizes shapes and colours. Not only fish, but hard/soft coral, sponges, sea cucumbers, clams, jellyfish, sea grass and a supposed turtle. We also saw a car wash, in where small fish were clean a bigger fish, by pecking at its scales, even going inside its mouth to eat the dead matter, symbiotic. Fun part was following a greedy parrotfish, making really loud noises as it fed.
