SHE
SAID:
We
all did something we have never done before today.
We
walked out about 1200m to King Reef, which for 4 days a month from
May to August, is accessible due to the extremely low tides. Heading
out about an hour before the lowest point was a little unnerving; we
were the only ones in the beginning. Luckily a single guy joined us at
the point when we were debating whether to continue on, as the water
was lapping our upper thighs. He said it gets shallower from then on, which it did.
There
were large & small starfish, Beche de Mer, sea slugs, and some
corals. It was interesting without being amazing like you see on the
reef cruises. But it was free & exciting, if a little worrying,
hoping there wouldn't be any Stingers (Box Jellyfish), Crocodiles, Sharks
or sea snakes.

HE SAID:
Our walk out to the reef was something that I'm glad we did. We all were a little nervous to be doing it solo, but it all turned out well.
