Lady Elliot island, Great Barrier Reef, Australia
 Down in Autralia the first week of June 2003 for the International Convention of Rotary. I stayed a few days after the convention, and took a day-trip to the Lady Elliot island, on the southern tip of the Great Barrier Reef. 12 of us flew in a small airplane to the deserted island. There was only one other plane in the island, so the total population was 24 for the day, plus a few maintenance workers! The island is great for snorkling, the water is crystal clear. I did not take pictures underwater, but I have a few of the fish in the lagoon.
