Today is our last day in Australia and the boys last concert. We have been in Bundaberg for the past 2 days. It is about 3 hours north of Brisbane. Yesturday we traveled another 1 1/2 hours north to Town of 1770 where we crossed the Coral Sea for 1 1/2 hours and went snorkling on the Great Barrier Reef.

The crossing was a bit rough and many of the boys and chaps returned their breakfasts on the ride out. Barry and I did not succumb. The diving was amazing. We saw many of Nemo's cousins but Nemo himself remained elusive. Several sea turtles swimming about the reef and lots of coral.

We were taken to an island located by the reef and learned that the entire island is made up of only coral. The trees on the island hold water within the bark, which is how they grow, but there is absolutely no soil. There are even birds that bury under the ground to lay eggs. In fact the birds, which have no predators, no longer teach their young to fly and will become completely flyless as time passes.

We are heading for an area on the sunshine coast today an hour north of Brisbane. One more concert this afternoon then we fly out of Brisbane at 9 am on Sunday for LA and then NY.

We took lots of pictures and video. Bought a few souvenirs and I am bringing home of choir cold. But that is what happens when you travel with 80 boys. It is has been a wonderful experience and we are thinking about doing again.
