A couple of months ago I was sat at my desk, wrapped in a blanket, desperate for some sunshine and warmth. I spent my entire lunch break searching for cheap flights somewhere hot with great snorkelling, and after ruling out the Southern Great Barrier Reef and Northern Western Australia, I settled on Cairns and Tropical North Queensland. I'm really happy I made the decision, as I had the most incredible weekend snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef with all the fishies!
