What is your visual DNA?

A friend sent this to me and I thought it was interesting. The link below will take you to a quiz based entirely on images.

Magnetic Island

I spent last weekend on Magnetic Island (a small island off of Townsville). Apparently so named because Captain Cook's compass stopped working as he passed by. It was a great place to relax, hike, snorkel, and kayak. And see wildlife! I saw a Koala and an Echidna!

Happy 4th of July!

The Americans here rallied together the best we could to celebrate US Independence in Australia. A country where fireworks are illegal, hot-dogs are bright red, and relish does not exist. Neither does independence... Australia still answers to the Queen.

The Great Barrier Reef

I've been SCUBA diving on the Great Barrier Reef twice now. Once, on my birthday as a present to myself and once a week later as a birthday present from my parents! SCUBA diving in general is really amazing, so people ask me "what's special about the GBR?". To me the most amazing part is the coral... it is so diverse and the colonies are huge- the biggest I've ever seen. And to be able to float by effortlessly and watch the individual corals wave in the current and the tiny fish darting in and out from their protection is really amazing. It's hard to imagine a place like this ceasing to exist, but it has a lot stacked up against it, warming oceans, UV radiation, silt from costal development, pollution, and tourists. Here's to hoping we figure out how to keep it around for future generations!

Quite a man

No, I haven't found some cute Aussie guy, he's English actually... I'm talking about James Cook, and you hear about him everywhere here, he has statues, museums, towns, streets, a university and even mountains named after him. And pretty much everything else is named after his ship "The Endevour". Like I said quite a man...
