Barrier Reef From Helicopter

As promised yesterday after I showed you the Bridled Terns I saw on my way out to the Barrier Reef, I  said I would show you the photographs I took from the helicopter that my son in law, grandson and myself boarded.  It was an experience of a lifetime.  The pilot was a lovely young lady.  Sorry my knees are in some of the photos but it was the reflection of the window!!!  There are a lot of shots, once again I suggest you put the kettle on, then sit back, put the photos into slide mode and enjoy them.


Station were we dived and snorkeled from.

I hope you enjoyed these photographs especially for those bloggers who have never been to the Barrier Reef or ever likely to be.

Thank you for visiting my blog today and thanks also to those who left comments on any of my blogs.  

My friend Eileen has gone home now to the I.O.W. now and I have a lots of photographs and video to process however I hope slowly to catch up on  
your blogs I have missed.
