Some More Answers

Hello.

Here are some more answers to your questions.Cairns is the city that has the enclosed beach. It is in the northeast corner of Australia. We also went to Uluru-Kata Tjuata National Park (in the middle of Australia) and Sydney (in the southest corner). Have a look at the map at the bottom of the main page.

We went swimming in the ocean. We went out on a large boat with approximately 50 other people. We then snorkeled around the Great Barrier Reef. We saw thousands of fish - kind of like in the movies Finding Nemo and Shark Tale. We actually saw a large shark swim beneath us as well. The last time someone was killed by a shark in Australia was in 1932 - so the sharks there are not very dangerous. We didn't see any stingrays, but other people on the boat with us did.
