Election Day in Austrailia

Today is Wednesday, Election day in the US. We are hoping for change.....

Betsey and I spent the day riding a catamaran to a platform near the Great Barrier Reef. Betsey snorkled (I did a little as well) while I took a scuba dive on the reef. It was awsome!! The huge walls over 30 ft high were just full of coral. The forrests of coral seemed to flow living with the water. The colors were vibrant. There is a neighborhood Grouper about 5' long that we were able to pet and hold. It actually took me for a short ride. Put my hand in a clam, the large clams have big "gums" so they won't actually bite your hand off. All in all diving on the reef is something that I wanted to do for some time.
The picture taking continues. I took several island from the sky shots on the way to Au. I have not actually had the time to get any pictures on the net yet. I will do it when I return home. Taking pictures on the iPhone and sending may be the best.
Onward to Cambodia. Hard to believe that we have only been to 4 sites and have 6 left to go and I hear that it only gets better from here. This is hard to believe!!!!
Regards to everyone.....

Doug and Betsey...
