01 Take a dive with hundreds of tropical fish, colorful coral and the world's biggest fish, the
whale shark, at unspoilt Ningaloo Reef. The reef on Western Australia's mid north coast, has gained an impressive reputation as one of Earth's last ocean paradise. 05 It's one of the largest fringing reefs in the world and unlike many others; you can get to it just by stepping off the beach. The marine park stretches 260 kilometers from Bundegi Reef near the town of Exmouth to Amherst Point near Coral Bay in the south. It reaches nearly 20 kilometers seaward, encompassing a massive 5,000 square 10 kilometers of ocean with 500 species of tropical fish and 220 species of coral in all. Nothing can compare to the thrill of swimming beside a whale shark. These docile creatures visit the reef each year between April and June. Rare turtle species hatch here in late January and February. Watch this amazing natural phenomenon on special guided, eco-interactive trails. 15 Accommodation in the area is comfortable and ranges from camping and backpacker style to chalets, motels, eco-retreats and self catering apartments. It's not all about the water at Ningaloo - go four wheel driving to Cape Range National Park to see amazing red rock canyons and gorges. Getting there is easy - take a two hour flight north of Perth, or give yourself two days to drive there from the capital. (www.westernaustralia.com)

Text 1 01 There, in the pasture greenery, Sun mottling Nature's breast,
It was the summer wind's song
That filled me with its crest.
05 Emotion running rampant--
Rivers to the sea-- I could not even fathom the flood of you and me.
But take me in your arms again And do not talk of time.
10 Let flesh rub flesh to parchment--
Pale flowers crushed--
And grind more mortar for my soul's room . . . Paint mirrors for my mind.
