I haven't been to North Queensland for 25 years now and I imagine it has changed greatly with the increase in tourism.
I spent much time working out of Cairns (1969-85) and had many trips to places like Green Island where the reef was great viewing. I remember when the first underwater observatory was sunk off Green Island. The views were spectacular. I was associated with the tour operators and regularly went to Green Island on the Old Coral Seatel to assist when I had no other work on so I had free access to the exhibits.
Some most spectacular views I had of the reef in general was flying low along the Ribbons on a trip to Lizard Island.
