Today we went to the bird hide and saw 2 pelicans and 2 small birds. Then we went on a glass bottom boat and saw a black tipped reef shark, and billions of fish.  Then we saw 20-40 different turtles.  It was amazing.  Then we drove to the Turtle Centre and saw a humpback whale jump out of the water, and a calf jump all the way out of the water.  Then we went to the lighthouse lookout and saw heaps and heaps of whales swimming around.  One of the mothers kept slapping the water to tell a calf to come back (the calf was in the reef where the mother couldn’t get to it and the mother was not happy about it at all).  Then we had a sleep.  Then we snorkelled on the Drift Loop at Turquoise Bay.  IT WAS AWESOME!! The fish were amazing.  Then we went back to the lighthouse.  Then we went to look for nesting turtles (no luck).
