World's Biggest Orgasm
 

Well, that should have got your attention!

Nov 15/16/17 is when corals of Great Barrier Reef willl spawn in an annual mass spectacular synchronised event, most commonly 3-5 days after full moon.

Tusa 6 out of Cairns will be running night diving and snorkelling over these dates, www.tusadive.com

I was wondering what on earth you had going on at your B&B! :-))

That would be one way to increase bookings, Lee Ann ):

Only in Australia Pat!

Definitely an attention grabber pat. And here I thought you'd just eaten your first mango of the season.

I love this thread!

And I thought Pat had over-indulged in liquid refreshments! Will watch for further developments. :) Dot

That's funny Mel!

ejaculation yes but orgasm?

doubt neurologocal connections exist for this...

Pretty cool either way though...

Is this the new business model for Lilybank?

Hilarious! Thanks for posting Pat. I'd love to see that one day. The images of this event shown in David Attenborough's documentary are filmed at Heron Island, I think.

Could easily be Susan.

Lots of media attention in Queensland on the super industrialisation of Gladstone and its harbour dredging with detrimental affect on long-established fishing industry.
I thought Heron Island was too far offshore to be affected, but according to a friend who's just moved back from nearby Tannum Sands to Cairns, and who's been to Heron many times, the reef there is showing signs of damage.

Four Corners tomorrow night (Monday) will probably shed some more light.

Behave yourself Pat... :-)

Pat thanks for the direction to Four Corners program last night. I hope there's a similar outcry about this dredging as there was over the live cattle export program.

For those who didn't watch it, here are some of the distressing details (and there's a petition on GetUp to send to the pollies if anyone is interested):


"In the past 6 months (the first stage of dredging) there has been a steep increase in deaths of endangered marine wildlife - 6 dolphins, 10 dugongs and 231 turtles have washed up dead near Gladstone on the Great Barrier Reef.

Fishermen and their families have been getting sick and have noticed that many of the fish have washed up with a strange flesh disease.

The Australian government failed to inform UNESCO of the approval of the gas facilities in the Great Barrier Reef WHA."
