Fly over Great Barrier Reef









Fly over the Great Barrier Reef.  We fly from Sydney to Cairnes which is in the Australian State of Queensland.  Then we board a smaller plane to fly to Lizard Island - a private island resort near Ribbon Reef 10 on the Great Barrier Reef.  It is an overcast day - but the views of the Reef start popping immediately.  The Reef system is massive - it is amazing to fly over the world's largest living organism.  Lizard island contains a resort and a research station.  The Airport is a one lane strip but we were made to feel welcome immediately.  One of the villas will be our home for the next 5 days.

Below is a video of our flight arriving into Lizard Island - made by our fellow traveler Robert Fleishman:
