Gorgeous Great Barrier Reef!

Come!

Pay me

a visit any

day of the year!

Not just on June 1st…

See my kaleidoscope of psychedelic colours

… float… frolic… and fly… with me… amidst…

gently caressing waves where Parrotfish greet leisurely snorkellers.

Soft corals sway… while, cute Clown fish shyly hide

nestled safely in the arms of sea anemones’ treacherous tentacles.

A Wobbegong shark cruises the ocean… an ornate carpet-ride

Sadly, likely to end up as Fast Food…

Flake and chips, munched at the Coast.

Dolphins click, whistle, smile and soar…

turtles glide in speckled shells

You’re welcome, but use

zinc or titanium

safe sun-screen

please!

*

Better late than never for beautiful Great Barrier Reef Day!
