Why you should visit the Whitsunday Islands!
Fear as I realised it was getting to dusk and we were swimming in waters inhabited by sharks

Humans may think they are the superior being but up against a gull bobbing in two feet of water they are brought down to their humble rightful place

Book Review – Robert Crais – Hostage
It’s a good read for holidays, a page turner, but nothing unique. I guess though that predictable is a strength in itself. You know what you are picking up from the shelf, and Mr Crais knows his craft.
