Great Barrier Reef

I have friends visiting Mission Beach from Victoria. Yesterday they enjoyed a fabulous day out at the Reef with Quick Cat, they were even lucky enough to see whales, how good is that. One of the little girls just loves snorkelling and cruised around with her Dad, while the other little girl enjoyed the glass bottom viewing boat with her Mum. A perfect day for everyone.
