A GREAT BARRIER REEF STORY - LIVING & BREATHING THE GREAT BARRIER REEF


Imagine growing up on the Great Barrier Reef... nothing quite like it anywhere else on earth. You can even see it from space!


Around 2300 kilometres long (that's 1400 miles for the metric system challenged) from Cape York Peninsula  on the tip of Queensland right down the coast to around the town of Rockhampton. See the above picture.

I am not a Marine biologist so I am not about to give you a full detailed multi page blog of the reef... if you are interested in learning more you can click the below 👇👇👇


I am here... posting my first blog during self isolation/social distancing/interesting times, with so much sadness being broadcast on TV 24/7... to post something a bit more light and fluffy, and downright enjoyable.

Hayley is a Marine Biologist on board Quicksilver Groups mother ship of a reef product, located around 35-40 kilometres from land (accessible by a smooth schmick catamaran for a 90 minute journey from Port Douglas). For more information on that cruise option.click the link here 👇👇👇

*Please note during the COVID-19 crisis due to health and safety of our customers and staff and for visitors inability to travel into Australia or within Australia Quicksilver Group has temporarily suspended all of it's vessels with the exception of Green Island day trips - as of March 2020.

Now... back to Hayley! This little movie was part of the latest Tropical North Queensland Tourism campaign earlier this year. In her own words, Hayley describes the first time she experienced the Great Barrier Reef, her sheer wonderment that eventually led her into a lifelong passion and love for the reef.

I am not going to tell you any more... just watch it! It will only take a moment of your time however during the current circumstances I am sure you have loads of that!

NEW BLOGS SOON...

We live in some interesting times and with more time spent at home due to COVID-19 I thought it time to bring back my blog after a 3 year hiatus. I'll be blogging about cool facts and adventures about this region and my life in Cairns, general rambling and how I fill my time during social distancing. Most importantly writing about my company's products and all the wonderful ways you can experience the Great Barrier Reef so, that when the boarders open again and we have kicked the virus to the curb... you can come and visit us 👍I will warn you now... I did not got to university, my grammar is crap and my spelling is shocking! You have been warned...

Stay tuned...
