    REEF: I have travelled a lot and I have to say that this was the best experience ever. The best crew, very responsible instructors and the most amazing experience. Thank you guys!! FALLS & FOREST: It doesn't get more Australian then this, what an awesome trip...:) Back to nature, swimming in crystal clear pools up in the rainforest, the waterfalls are breath taking. Paul told us everything about all the flora & fauna, we even spotted a platypus!!!!! The food was a lot and tasted so good. The last thing you want is to be back in the city so we went back up to the lodge where we finished our trip that day, to stay for a few nights. When the girls checked us in we had our first Ozzie BBQ in the backyard and gazed at the stars from our hammocks. Happy days!
