Ms. Lilly’s about to be on her way to Australia

Your resident cruising Mistress is at it again! This time, I’m heading Australia to explore some of the most majestic and amazing things on the planet. James and I will be flying out Oct. 28th for Sydney, and spend just over two weeks on a scuba diving pilgrimage to the Great Barrier Reef. As long as the flights are on time, I should be back on the phone November 17th. It’ll be the vacation of a lifetime, and I still can’t believe it’s finally, really happening! Make sure to grab a session with me before I go, because this Walkabout adventure will last a while.

The Great Barrier Reef: an Endangered Natural Wonder

One of the reasons James and I are heading out now is because climate change is critically threatening and endangering the Great Barrier Reef. The slow rise in temperate and acidity of sea water is leading to coral bleaching world-wide, and the Great Barrier Reef is no exception. More than 25% of reefs within it are already experiencing coral bleaching and death. The GBR is at a very delicate cross-roads between its survival, and destruction…and it’s uncertain whether conservation efforts will be enough to stem the tide. In short–James and I are trying to view the Reef while it is still alive and vibrant. It may not be in the years to come.

Several Days of Unforgettable Land & Sea Adventures

We’re going to have the vacation of a lifetime–starting with 10 days on the Great Barrier Reef— 7 on a live aboard scuba diving trip through the Outer Reefs, and 3 exploring the Ribbon Reefs closer to shore. We’ll have the opportunity to do well over 25 dives, including some night dives. Then, we’ll have a few days to explore the Daintree Rainforest, go white water rafting, and trek through the Atherton tablelands waterfalls. It will be an unforgettable vacation, one with memories and photos to last a lifetime–and I’ll make sure to tell you all about it when I get back!
