Swimming over the Great Barrier Reef!
 22 nautical miles from Cairns, Queensland,
is Michaelmas Cay.
 North Queensland, Australia.

Yes, we were each wearing a "stinger suit" to protect us from jellyfish as we went snorkeling over the reef.

We used VisitCairns.com/au  and   
Seastar Cruises, and they were so great and knowledgeable!

Sea Birds on the Great Barrier Reef - Michaelmas Cay, Queensland, Australia

22 nautical miles from Cairns, Queensland, is Michaelmas Cay, a bird reserve and incredible place to snorkel, dive or do some bird watching! 


A dive boat, certified for ecotourism, takes you directly to a strip 
of sand beside the protected nesting sites.

The sounds were fantastic!  So have a look at the video and listen to the recording from the beach. Wait for the surprise!



Can you spot the brown booby among the common noddies? 

We used Seastar Cruises, and they were so great and knowledgeable!   Below is one of their pictures.
