Whitsundays - Dive, sail, restore any day of the week

The Whitsundays' 74 islands make up the southern most part of the Great Barrier Reef's 1,600 miles.  These islands sport powdery sand, lush vegetation and endless opportunities to explore.  Although generally uninhabited, there are a few, including Hamilton Island, where one can let colorful foliage and sunsets simply wash over the spirit.

A couple of days diving on a skippered catamaran makes life seem just about perfect.

Here's a sneak peak of one of Steve's underwater photos.

In Sydney? Give the climb a go.
