Sunrise at the Great Barrier Reef An early morning meant we got to catch the beautiful sunrise. There's something to be said about the calm and peacefulness of the sun rising while in the middle of the ocean.

Flight Ayers Rock (Uluru) Our day started with a bus to Sydney Airport before boarding a plane bound for Ayers Rock.
