Greg's Highlights (Abridged)

Here are some of the Greg's highlights for the benefit of the gang at The Best Job In The World. That's right everyone check out http://www.islandreefjob.com/. Hopefully soon my video will be posted.


Snorkling the Great Barrier Reef . The colours were out of this world.

Driving through sand dunes on Fraser Island. Got stuck twice and camped in a cage. What more can you ask of a 2nd anniversary trip!

Camping in the middle of the Simpson Desert. If it wasn't for the copious amounts of beer we took and a few bottles of port, we would have dried up in the desert like the many stripped vehicles we saw.

Uluru. One word... Majestic.

Skip boarding. What sort of clown invented this one. If you fall and you will, there's no water to protect you just good old sand.

We hiked the 19 km to the lighthouse, ran into a Tiger snake, a heap of wombats and the odd resident kangaroo. On the trip back we went the extra eight or nine km's to south point. Not much there but it's pretty cool to be at the most southern edge of mainland.
We went horseback riding just outside of Mansfield. This is something I wanted to do for a long time. It was fantastic. We sleep under the stars and became good friends with our limo drivers.

My limo driver, Nevada.
While in Western Australia, we gave surfing a go. Exhilerating and very tiring. Good times though!

Litchfield NP. Jumping into the plunge pool. What a way to stay cool.
