Michaelmas Cay


"A picturesque reef sand island surrounded by magical coral gardens teeming with an incredible diversity of marine life. Michelmas Cay is a protected seabird sanctuary playing host to 20,000 migratory seabirds" ..So said the advertisement for our catamaran cruise to the Great Barrier Reef. In reality - it was a very tiny sand island with squawking seagulls that reeked of bird droppings! There were so many other people snorkeling that day that you were more likely to bump into another person rather than marine life. However, it was still a beautiful day and to be snorkeling at the Great Barrier Reef was a dream come true.
