Thought I'd share some pictures of the Great Barrier Reef I took recently whilst on holidays.

If any of you guys ever go, i HIGHLY recommend taking the helicopter flight back to the island / mainland. Best part of my entire trip! Whitehaven Beach is just spectacularly beautiful!

Hope you enjoy the pictures. Overcast day made it difficult to get good pictures




Cloudy kind of day on the way out there.



A nice shot of the sky.


Lunch time and snorkelling festivities.


Random reef shot from the Chopper 1


Even the reef has waterfalls

Best angle of the depth of the "river" between the coral clif faces


Where the ocean meets the reef. Very mainland like huh
