Hamilton Island, Australia

Hamilton Island is advertised as being the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef. I will be taking a whole day cruise tomorrow, to visit the Reef.

The cruise boat has a glass bottom to view the corals. They have also arranged for snorkelling.

But, it is cold in Hamilton Island now. The temperature is less than 10 degrees Centrigrade. Usuually, at this time of year, the temperature should be at least 20 degrees. The resort employees told me that this is the coldest season that they had for many years.
