Australia

Australia is Burning

Everyone has seen the headlines — “Australia is burning!” “Bush Fires Threatening all Areas of Australia” But, what people forget is that Australia is a large country and not all of it is burning! In fact, the fires, while horrible for those people living in or near these areas, are only in a small portion of the country. And, like the California fires, they have displaced people and wildlife but once under control, and extinguished, there is new growth coing back almost immediately.

The Australian department of Tourism created a few videos hoping to let people know that things are returning to normal and that they are open and ready for business. Here is one of those videos.

Australia Exploratory Trip Announced

This adventures to Great Barrier Reef Trip in the Coral Sea departs 19 February 2021

If you missed the Club Aquarius Social Club meeting last week, you probably missed the announcement of an exploratory trip to the Coral Sea aboard the Spirit of Freedom.  This trip includes a rare opportunity to visit to the SS Yongala, Australia’s largest shipwreck.  During this trip we will be visiting a number of sea mounts not visited by dive boats and operators.  We will be exploring them for the first time and we will even have the opportunity to name at least one of the sites we visit!  There are a limited number of available spots (both Eric and Ann have signed up to lead this trip) so now is the time to reserve your spot.
We will be publishing more trip information in January but you can always send Dive Mom a note to find out more before then.  You don’t want to miss this opportunity!
