Same as any other glass boat trip.
They'll have their selected spots
Being the best avail in unrestricted areas.

There's some nice reef round here.
But we usually out fishing. Not Perving.

we're actually at the bottom end of Barrier reef. and a little inshore.

You'll enjoy it don't worry.

Let me know when you there and I'll wave from Computer room window
(Here).

Looking out the front of our caravan at GKI over the last month, it looks OK to us.

What i am getting at is was there damage from the cyclone debbie n is the coral bleached. I want to go on a tour where island is in full swing n reef tour there is colourful coral not just brown or white bleached.

Our advise is, best to ask the tour operator.

And will the Tour operator say it not worth going , I don't think so I will wait for Macka report .

Like we said our caravan looks directly at GKI. We've been here for a month & everyone that we've spoken to on the caravan park that has been to GKI have been all smiles.

Things must be OK we reckon.

If we asked a tour operator if the reef was OK, he said it was & we went on the tour & it was crap we'd be certainly be reminding him of the fact.

We go fishing round ALL the islands Not banned as reserves.
Around 32 of them.

They all fishing well.
And none of the people I've spoken to at Marina have made any whinges so far.

it's a beautiful place.
LESS commercial than further North.
and the beaches all round it are beautiful.

Just watch out for the Iriajari? Jellyfish, in season (summer)
They nasty.
The local ones only bring out a rash. White vinegar sorts that.

It's actually. a GOOD idea to carry a container of such in your car\van. Beach bag.
Anytime you go on any Northern beaches.

Won't stop the croc's eating yo.
But will relieve the jelly rash 90%.
That or HOT water poured over it.

Enjoy our State.
It's the best.

And.
Any bloody visitors we see up here on Wed flashing BLUE flags.
will get their tyres let down. OK....

You appreciating our States facilities and weather.
Show it..

Go the Maroons.
OR Go home.....

Chuckle.

No matter WHO wins.
It SHOULD be a bloody good game, for League.
