Cousteau and the Great Barrier Reef

April24

My uncle Guy who was chief mechanic on-board the Calypso oceanographic ship talked to me a lot about his voyages with Jacques Cousteau.

cousteau

Cousteau devoted his life to the discovery of the sea world and to communicate about it. One of his last trips in 1990 was on the Great Barrier Reef with his son Jean-Michel.
He spoke english well, with an unmistakable french accent.

My trip to Brisbane with Qantas!

April21

And there it is! Australia is getting closer and closer! I have my flight schedule.
I’ll leave on April 28, and will arrive to Brisbane on April 30 (local time). It will be an exhausting 30H trip to get to Brisbane due to the different steps :

  • Lyon-London
  • London-Singapore
  • Singapore-Brisbane

I’ll be back in France on May 12, after 12 exciting days in Australia :) I hope I’ll be back with some good news!!
