Having a whale of a time.

A definite highlight of my time studying abroad at Curtin University in Western Australia was swimming alongside a whale shark in Coral Bay. The 1,200 km journey from Perth up North to Ningaloo Reef was an incredible road-trip, topped off with this once in a lifetime experience. The whale shark pictured in this photo was between 8 and 9 metres in length! Snorkelling beside the world's largest fish was the ultimate bucket list experience and one that I will never forget!
