north of the tropic line, the whole situation changed. the country produced many surprises! Giant termite nests were the first strange things for us. Red earth was another.
we had to wade through the shallow to get to our glass bottomed boat to cruise on Ningaloo Reef. It was a very pleasant cruise for about an hour but I was disappointed that the reef didnt look as spectacular as I had imagined. Maybe further out and from under the water it might have been better? Maybe next trip ...
it was difficult to get any clear photos as the boat was always moving and it cast a shadow on the reef immediately underneath.
