TRAVELLIVE 3-2016
Getting up as the first rays of sun enter my room, I can feel in the air that the days of bitter cold and damp have passed and that days of warmth and sunshine are upon us. Good weather is a lucky sign for my upcoming journeys with friends. In this century of technology and high-speed connections, you can travel around the world with the click of a mouse. All the data you could ever want to form an itinerary, from the cuisine to the cultural development of the land, are on your screen immediately upon typing a few characters into the search box. But how long will this stay with you? The things you have just seen, the dreamlands of your fantasies, all fade away someday. Few things in life are more inevitable.

The Great<br />
Barrier Reef<br />
is the biggest<br />
live coral reef<br />
in the world,<br />
and was<br />
recognized<br />
by UNESCO<br />
as a natural<br />
heritage site<br />
in 1981.<br />
Australian coasline. These cruise ships often<br />
anchor by night along beaches such as Whitehaven,<br />
Cid Harbor, and Butterfly Bay as they make their<br />
stops. Another way to take in the beauty of the reefs<br />
is by joining one of the tours in a glass-bottom boat.<br />
You can find these at central beaches such as Cairns,<br />
Port Douglas, Townsville, Bundaberg, Rockhampton,<br />
Mackay, as well as Mission, and Airlie.<br />
For discovering marine life, a diving tour is the<br />
best. From Cairns, you can go diving around<br />
Agincourt reefs. Capricorn and Bunker reefs are near<br />
Gladstone. The Great Barrier Reef is home to more<br />
than 360 species of coral, 1,500 species of fish, 4,000<br />
types of mollusk, and 200 species of birds. If you are<br />
lucky, you may catch a glimpse of some interesting<br />
marine animals like seaturtles, seahorses, and<br />
dolphins while exploring the colorful coral slits near<br />
Lady Elliot and Lady Musgrave Islands. Enjoy your<br />
holiday at the place where summer never ends!<br />
