Sea Turtle
This week I enjoyed an international blog swap with UK based Sarah Ebner who authors the Family Travel Times. Sarah wrote a fantastic article about visiting London with kids, full of local know how. In return I wrote an article about exploring the Great Barrier Reef with kids for her site:
Stretching almost 3000 kilometres and running nearly parallel to the Queensland Coast, the Great Barrier Reef is one of the seven wonders of the natural world. Travellers can access the reef at its southernmost end from Bundaberg, all the way north up to the Cape York Peninsula. The reef presents visitors to Queensland with the opportunity to engage with a unique and beautiful ecosystem and abundant wildlife. Sea turtles, giant clams, brilliantly colored coral and innumerable tropical fish are on view for those that look beneath the ocean’s surface.
Admittedly there are some constraints- unless you have a babysitter, a scuba diving holiday with young kids is impossible. There are so many other ways to explore the Great Barrier Reef though with kids – ways that are loads of fun for parents, and that give kids a valuable insight into nature and the wild. Here some of them:
