Helicopter over the Great Barrier Reef






The weather was perfect yesterday for a great heli ride over the Whitsunday Island group and the Great Barrier Reef.  Susan and I spent a great two hours with our pilot as he gave us a private tour of these places.  There is not much in my vocabulary to describe the beauty.  You will have to see for yourselves in these few pictures on the net and the ones we bring home.  Also shown are a few pictures of Qualia from the air.  The super white beach is known as Whitehaven and is the most photographed beach in the world.  From the air, we say schools of rays, turtles and one big shark. Enjoy the photos, we will see all of you in a few days.  We are sad our trip is coming to an end, but are thrilled to be able to see our home and friends.  See you in Seattle or at Silver Star!

Dick and Sooze:
The blue in your photos is stunning. What a rush, eh, to fly over the Great Barrier Reef? Thanks again for posting your blog and photos, Cousin Dick. You look FAB, Sooze. You two have a great trip back home.
