    Must be in your tick off list, book a Great Barrier Reef tour (Dream Time catamaran is tops - offers snorkelling and scuba diving, equipment and preps comes with package but don't forget your waterproof camera like I did, if you do, you can hire one, bring some sea sickness pills if going to the Reef, just in case, go on a tour to Kuranda (cable car ride, amphibious vehicle ride and the train ride are spectacular) visit the free swimming pool near the Esplanade, enjoy sea sports, enjoy an helicopter ride, taste the variety of food and love life!
