Great Barrier Reef Pictures, Queensland photos, Australia Pictures, beach photos, Australia photos

Pictures from Queensland, Australia. Tropical north Australia is famous for the Great Barrier Reef. Scuba diving here is world renown. We took part in underwater potato cod feeding. These larger than human fish eat from the hand of the dive master, inches from your face. They're large fish, but peaceful. This area is also know for beaches, resorts, flowers, and palm trees. When the weather doens't cooperate for water activities, go horseback riding in the bush and amongst sugar cane fields.
