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.
