During early 2011 I commenced a four week road trip from my home town of Melbourne all the way to Cairns. I planned to organise a private helicopter charter during the trip to shoot the Great Barrier Reef however the charter was almost cancelled due to an unforeseen car breakdown and inclement weather. Luckily though, after waiting for almost a week, 3 days of calm weather were forecast so I booked a helicopter charter and prayed for perfect conditions. Well my prayers were certainly answered!
