So here are the things I felt I must do while in QLD, I tried my best to complete them all but it is quite hard! Here is how I did;

• See the GBR from the air

Done! With GSL Aviation and it was fantastic

• Witness Heart Reef

GSL Aviation.. worth it!

• Step foot on a Whitsundays island

Yep, we even frolicked in the water and saw Hill Inlet from the lookout, incredible (Ocean Rafting)

• Ride a zip line

Yep, thanks to Jungle Surfing but next time I wanna do one a little more adrenaline pumping

• Visit the Daintree Rainforest

Done! Wish we could have seen one of those big blue butterflies up close though and the beach that meets the rainforest, maybe next time.

• Have a feast of seafood

I’m going to say half done, we did have a fair bit of fresh prawns and I had crab, oysters and calamari.. But we still had more of a seafood feast in New Orleans (still yet to top that one)

• Snorkel with the biggest fish yet

Yep! Not quite as big as I had hoped (I wanted to swim with one of those Humphead Wrasse fish but maybe next time). We did get to swim with a cute black Giant Trevally though.

• Swim with a turtle

We did! At Green Island off Cairns.

• See a clown fish (Nemo)

Yes but no, we did see clown fish but they were kind of deep down and a different colour to Nemo, so I will try complete this better next time I am in Clown fish territory.

• See a salt water crocodile in the wild

Sadly no 😦

• See a Cassowary in the wild

No not in the wild, but did see one in captivity.
